The X Games Men's Super Pipe Final at Colorado Aspen.
Shaun White wins 98.0P.Ayumu Hirano (Hirano Ayumu, Niigata Prefecture, 14 years old), who was the only Japanese to advance to the final, won the silver medal, the youngest medalist in the history of the X Games, at 92.33P.
Ayumu, who was attracting attention as the youngest athlete in this tournament, passed the qualifying held on Friday in 6th place (16 out of 8 people passed).In the final, the routine of backside air melancholy love → front side 2 → cab 1080 → front side 1080 → back side 900 → front side double cork 900 is almost perfectly made.
With this record left by the X Games, which includes powerful Olympic medalists such as Shaun White and Scotty Lago, he became a snowboarder who drew attention from the media all over the world.
