While we still trying to upload the video from his final run from the Olympics - gold medal run, you can enjoy a very funny video with the main star Shaun White. Recent news: Vancouver | Canada - Snowboarding superstar and defending champion Shaun White won the Olympic men's halfpipe gold Wednesday, dazzling the judges with his tricks - including the gravity-defying Double mctwist 1260. White scored 48.4 out of 50 in his second run after 46.8 in his first, which was in itself enough to seal the title. Finland's Peetu Piiroinen took silver with a score of 45.0 and Scott Lago of the United States won bronze with 42.8. Hot favorite White had the luxury of starting his second run knowing he was already Olympic champion - the same situation he faced in Turin in 2006 - after dominating the competition. After qualifying in first place, White went last in the final and in two devastating displays the man known as the "Flying Tomato" put himself out of reach of his competitors. One of the stellar names at these Games, 23-year-old White came to Vancouver as the hot favorite having last month won his third consecutive gold in the X Games superpipe. The field was missing US snowboarders Kevin Pearce and Danny Davis, both of whom were potential challengers to White's crown but were injured before the Games. Check out the video on www.Pulpit.no

A massive protest is expected in Vancouver Friday on the opening day of the Olympic Winter. The residents of this hip, laid-back, economically strapped city are wondering why officials ever agreed to spend up to nearly $7 billion in taxpayer money for the place to endure commercialism, network intrusions and a surge of surveillance cameras. Some are saying the cash should have been used for social issues like helping Vancouver's homeless.
