Silver and bronze winners forced to give their medals to Shaun White
VANCOUVER — US Olympic Snowboarder Shaun White had already won the gold for the Halfpipe even before nailing his McTwist 1260 Wednesday night. His victory was so sound that silver medal winner Peetu Piiroinen from Finland and bronze winner Scotty Lago were forced to give their medals to White as well. “Shaun pretty much won the top ten positions,” said Olympic judge Colin Hornish. “Piiroinen and Lago were really only eleventh and twelfth compared to White.” Lago seemed fine with it. “If I tell anyone from today until the day I die that I snowboarded for the US in the 2010 Olympics, they won’t believe me because all they’ll remember is Shaun White,” said Lago. “I’d rather just put it behind me and not have to deal with people questioning me about Shaun every day for eternity.”
