Shaun White insists he’s happy in retirement—but after a surprise snowboarding stunt in Central Park, fans are once again wondering if the door is really closed.
The three-time Olympic gold medalist, 39, opened up to PEOPLE on Saturday, September 24, about a potential return to competition while attending Ralph Lauren’s unveiling of Team USA’s uniforms for the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics at Macy’s in New York City. White officially retired after the 2022 Beijing Games, but joked that a comeback would require some serious physical prep.
While cracking his joints, White joked, “Oh, my goodness. Did you see me do this? That was just my back.” He continued, revealing the combo that might just do the trick: “It would take a lot of stretching... A lot of red light therapy.”
White’s comments came just one day before he reminded New Yorkers—and the internet—exactly why he’s considered the GOAT. During a massive snowstorm on Sunday, January 25, the snowboard icon popped up in Central Park for an impromptu session, pulling off tricks in an all-white snowsuit while remaining anonymous behind goggles and a face covering. One standout moment included an airborne jump over comedian Shane Gillis.
