OFF3PI've never heard of either of them
STEEZUS_CHRI5TShawn White is the guy who got a perfect score in half pipe for losing balance and dragging his hand
kshaughnSo is she going to be the next Jon Olsson? He might not have won as many contests (I honestly can't remember anymore) as she will, but he ended up leaving skiing for the most part for the social media life.

STEEZUS_CHRI5TShaun White was big because he was an American. She’s over in China, I think her popularity will mostly stay there.
skiermanShe renounced her citizenship though.

IsaacNW82I mean, she's as American as she is Chinese. Born and grew up in the bay area, learned to ski at Tahoe
STEEZUS_CHRI5TShe competed in the Olympics for China, she’s chopped liver over here
IsaacNW82And she competed for USA in FIS world cups, too. Her whole thing is that she is both American and Chinese, she ducks interview questions about which nationality she is regularly
SofaKingSickhaha wtf is this? jon olsson helped revolutionize the sport, he was an absolute top shelf film star for years, won a lot of stuff (and got 2nd and 3rd a TON lol) and the dude fuckin switch misty 9ed chad's gap
i ain't watching his blogs but he can do whatever he wants esp after a skiing career, and to use him as a negative example is really silly
kshaughnI wasn't trying to imply anything negative towards Jon, he was one of my favorite skiers growing up. He's just an example of someone who had success in the sport and used that success to essentially leave it and become a personality outside of skiing.
STEEZUS_CHRI5THer whole thing is that she wants money and fame. She markers herself to multiple countries and doubles her exposure. It’s smart. In my opinion she’s just a sellout.
SofaKingSickcool cool maybe i misinterpreted. gus could be another example (and he's another i don't blame. being a pro skier is rough)
polmeiGood for her. Making the moves she needs to do to make money and get mega famous and yeah, a gold Olympic medal and xgames gold... and is pushing the level of womens skiing.

STEEZUS_CHRI5TMore to life than money, especially when it comes to skiing. That’s not what it should be about. Don’t add hashtags or people will think you’re trolling

swheritylol and ayumu hirano had to lace three triple corks just to win gold at the olympics after they scored scotty james higher than him
theabortionatorPlace was about to riot on that one, crazy he stomped it again somehow even better.
You miss some stuff judging but that in the actual fuck.
Okay, I'm calm now sorry

skiermanOnly kids who grew up wealthy say shit like this.
STEEZUS_CHRI5TWhat does that have to do with anything. Even if that were true then why not listen to the advice of someone who has that financial experience
skiermanLOL "financial experience". Tell us you're a spoiled brat without telling us.
SteezyYeeterNo she's not. She's an American. Everything she has she owes to America. She would not be where she is right now, nowhere close, if she grew up in China.
