Shaun White

Shaun White says it would "mean the world" to him to compete in skateboarding at the Summer Olympics, but it would be a hard decision while trying to defend his snowboarding gold medal.

At a news conference after winning his third Olympic gold medal Wednesday, Shaun White dismissed sexual harassment allegations as "gossip." Appearing on the "Today Show," White later apologized for his remarks.

Shaun White explains what becoming a 3-time Olympic gold medalist means to him.

Shaun White has apologized for "a poor choice of words" after using "gossip" to describe sexual harassment allegations made against him in a 2016 lawsuit.

Trailing after two runs, Shaun White soared to a gold-medal-winning score of 97.75 to surpass Japan's Ayumu Hirano in the men's halfpipe final on Wednesday. White is the first American male to win gold at three Winter Games.

Shaun White has already won two gold medals in Olympic competition and looks for more this year in Pyeongchang.
