White retired after his fifth appearance on the Olympics, where he ended up in fourth place in the half-pipe event, a section he’d dominated for the past decade. Despite not obtaining a medal, White said he was proud of his performance and of his career as an athlete and olympian. “I wanted more today but I’ll take what I can get. It’s been my life,” he said.

In an appearance on “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” White spoke about his retirement and of getting inspiration from Barack Obama. “You know, when I was thinking of retirement, I kept thinking of Obama when he left office,” he said. “All of the sudden it’s just him on a jet ski and a straw hat and I was like ‘God, I wanna be doing that.’ That’s where I’m heading.” Looks like things are going according to plan.
