肖恩·怀特：（35岁，参加五届冬奥会）
“我留下了我的传承。”
Shaun White: You're watching my legacy
( 35, five-time Winter Olympian)
有着“单板滑雪U型场地之王”美誉的三届冬奥会冠军、美国名将肖恩·怀特，在北京冬奥会中因失误最终排名第四，遗憾地无缘领奖台。
Shaun White, the three-time Winter Olympic champion, has the reputation of "the king of snowboarding halfpipe". However, during the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, he finished fourth due to a wipeout, unfortunately missing the podium.
35岁的肖恩·怀特在新闻发布会上宣布，北京冬奥会是自己的冬奥谢幕战，冬奥生涯就此划上句号。
35-year-old White announced at a press conference that Beijing 2022 would be his last Winter Olympics. His Olympic career has come to an end.
北京冬奥会是肖恩·怀特的第五次冬奥之旅。他是先天性心脏病患者，医生曾预言他活不过20岁，但他不仅战胜了疾病，更用自己的努力和天赋站上了巅峰。
The Beijing Winter Olympics is his fifth Winter Olympic Games. Diagnosed with congenital heart defects at birth, a doctor once predicted that he would not survive beyond his 20th birthday. He not only overcame the condition, but also reached the top of snowboarding world through his determination and talent.
2006年都灵冬奥会、2010年温哥华冬奥会，他蝉联单板滑雪U型场地技巧冠军，风光无限。2014年索契冬奥会，肖恩·怀特无缘领奖台，人们一度以为他的时代已经结束。然而在四年后的平昌冬奥会上，肖恩·怀特上演王者归来，以31岁的“高龄”夺得个人第三枚奥运金牌，震惊了世界。
White won the gold medal in the halfpipe at both Turin 2006 and Vancouver 2010. At the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, he missed the podium, which made people think that his era has ended. However, at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics four years later, he returned as the king and won his third Olympic gold at the age of 31.
四年后，他依旧选择坚持，来到了北京，但这一次，命运没有眷顾他。肖恩·怀特的最后一滑以失败告终，他摘下头盔，慢慢地从雪道上滑下来，和众人挥手时，已是热泪盈眶。
Four years later, he came to Beijing with remarkable persistence. However, fortune did not smile on him this time. He fell on his final run. After that, he took off his helmet and slowly slid down the slope, waving to the crowd with tears in his eyes.
在他的泪水中，包含了一切无法言说的情绪。传奇落幕，肖恩·怀特像演员谢幕一样做了一个绅士的致谢礼。他说：“每个人都在问我，我在这项运动里留下的传承是什么，我想说，‘你们正在见证这种传承。’这些年轻的选手一路都在紧紧追赶我。看到他们最终超过我，我想正是我内心一直期待的——被他们打败！”
Tears represented his indescribable emotions. Shaun White made a bow, just like a legend made his curtain call. "Everybody's been asking me what my legacy in this sport has been, and I'm like, 'You're watching it'. These younger riders, they have been on my heels every step of the way. To see them finally surpass me is, I think deep down, what I always wanted, you know – to be beaten, to finally walk away."
