Three-time Olympic gold medalist snowboarder Shaun White has announced his decision to compete professionally in skateboarding.

White was photographed during a practice session at the World Park Skateboarding Championship in Sao Paulo on September 9, 2019. The championship served as a qualifier for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where skateboarding will make its debut as an Olympic event.

The move marks a significant crossover for White, who dominated freestyle snowboarding with three Olympic halfpipe titles.
