He is the biggest star in action sports and with the Vancouver Winter Olympics beginning this weekend, Shaun White is setting his sights to repeat his quest for gold in the snowboarding halfpipe competition. The San Diego native not only will try and defend the title he won at the 2006 Turin Olympics, but he'll likely be raising the bar with some new breathtaking moves. The halfpipe competition begins on Feb. 17.

Shaun White is one of the biggest and most recognized stars in action sports. With his flaming red mane, the 23-year-old Carlsbad resident not only is a superstar in snowboarding but in skateboarding as well, being the first to win gold medals in both the 2007 Summer and Winter X Games.
