Every four years it’s the same thing. When the half-pipe competition begins during the Olympic Games, it seems already written in advance that Shaun White takes the victory. The American is a legend in his sport and at 35 he is still the huge favorite to succeed himself. For the Beijing Olympics, which open today, he is therefore advancing for a fourth gold medal, despite the sanitary conditions which greatly complicate the lives of the athletes.
If all goes well in his career as an athlete, Shaun White is also a highly sought-after man. In a relationship since December 2019 with actress Nina Dobrev, the one who is nicknamed the flying tomato for his red hair and his ability to perform spectacular figures, also had an affair with one of the most famous top models. Indeed, as media reported in 2012, the snowboarder was briefly in a relationship with Bar Refaeli ! The two stars met at a party hosted by Maxim magazine in May 2012.
Spotted together at the 2012 Olympics
Shaun and Bar notably went together at the end of July 2012 to swimming events at the Olympic Games to support Michael Phelps. They appeared very complicit and next to each other in the stands to support the American swimmer. A relationship that obviously only lasted a short time since after this event, we did not see them together again. The two have never formalized this relationship publicly.
As the Winter Olympics open today, Shaun White is one of the stars to watch, as are our flag bearers Tessa Worley and Kevin Rolland, two great medal chances for the French delegation!
