Three-time Olympic gold medalist Shaun White is set to appear at the 2026 Winter Games, not as a competitor, but as a broadcaster for NBC. White, who retired from competitive snowboarding after the 2022 Beijing Olympics, will provide commentary during the Opening Ceremony's Parade of Nations.
Fans are buzzing with anticipation as White recently shared throwback photos of his signature long red hair on Instagram, captioning it with a tease about growing it back for the 2026 Milan Cortina Games. This iconic hairstyle was famously cut and donated to Locks of Love in December 2012.
While White looks forward to his new role, he acknowledges potential nostalgic feelings about not competing. He expressed excitement and some nerves about spectating his first Winter Games as a retired athlete, ready to cheer on a new generation of competitors.
