Gold Medals can't evade Shaun White for too long.

Oakley's multi-sport superstar, fresh off yet another Superpipe Gold at Winter X, finally reclaimed the elusive Skateboard Vert Gold on Saturday, snatching the victory from the three-year grasp of Pierre-Luc Gagnon.

Shaun??s early run ?? racking up a solid 89.33 ?? was quickly clipped by a few huge runs from PLG, who quickly claimed the lead and held it for most of the session. It seemed insurmountable for many of the global fans watching the action on the broadcast and the nervous bunch on hand at Nokia Center. Then again, when is it ever a good idea to doubt Shaun White?
