AP Interview: White streamlines life on road to ’22 Olympics

ASPEN, Colo. (AP) — With the mountains closed and the halfpipes shuttered during a pandemic that turned the world and its sports upside down, Shaun White put double-corks on hold and saved his most intense workouts for his mind. He’d be the first to concede he needed that kind of break. Now 34, and gearing up for a run at a fourth Olympic gold medal, White looked around after his latest victory, in 2018, and saw too much — on his calendar, coming out of his pocketbook, in the way he lived. In an Associated Press interview, White says he spent the last three years rebooting the way he thinks, does business and defines success in a snowboarding career that, by almost any measure, is the most successful in history.
