White's solid but unspectacular opening run scored 72, putting him fourth of nine competitors. He got within reach of a possible medal on his second run, scoring an 85 that moved him briefly to second place. But Scotty James then scored a 92.5 to take first and knock White back to fourth.
Hirano landed an epic third run with a triple cork, earning a 96 and the gold medal. He won silver in the last two Olympics, but now has his gold.
