The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics appears to be a stomping ground for first-time Olympians looking to grab the gold. In the world of snowboarding, 19-year-old Dusty Henricksen is that exact athlete, as he competes against legendary vet Shaun White, the most decorated Olympic snowboarder of all time who will be participating in his fifth Winter Games.
In his first ever X Games in Aspen, 2021, Dusty managed to take home two gold medals, becoming the first American in 12 years to win a men’s snowboard slopestyle gold.
Three-time Olympic gold medalist Shaun was the last person to win such an honor. It looks like the playing field is stacked and the Winter Games are going to feature some epic battles, especially with Dusty in the mix.
