Will Scotty James become snowboarding’s GOAT at the Winter Olympics?
Scotty James is already one of the greatest snowboarders of all time - can he cement his legacy by winning halfpipe gold at the Winter Olympics in Italy?
Scotty James is already one of the greatest snowboarders of all time. At the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea, he won bronze in the halfpipe before following that up with a silver in Beijing four years later. At the age of 31, he's aiming to complete his set of medals by winning gold at the Games in Milan-Cortina.
Ahead of the event in Italy, Ade Adedoyin spoke to Ski Sunday's Tim Warwood about his recent interview with James, and how the Australian compares to fellow greats Shaun White and Ayumu Hirano. James explains why, though he enjoyed great battles with White and Hirano in the past, this year's halfpipe event is the most competitive field he's known.
He also talks about being part of the Stroll family - his wife Chloe is the sister of F1 driver Lance - and why becoming a father hasn't changed his approach to the sport.
