Shaun White, an American snowboarding men's halfpipe who has announced his retirement at the end of the Beijing Olympics.
For Ayumu Hirano, White was a longing to reign at the top of the world from an early age.
Hirano emerged early on and suddenly became a silver medalist at the Sochi Olympics, where he first appeared at the age of 15.
And the last Pyeongchang tournament, which was his second appearance.
Hirano will play a historic match with White in the history of the Halfpipe.
For the second time, Hirano succeeded in the big skill "Double Cork 1440" with 2 vertical rotations and 4 horizontal rotations, and took the lead with 95.25, which surpasses White.
Although he was driven into White, he made a wonderful decision to jump the third and quadruple rotations twice.
With a high score of "97.75", which surpassed Hirano, the champion turned around at the last minute and sought a gold medal.
Two people who stood on the same stage again this tournament.
However, in the last four years, Hirano has grown significantly.
And Hirano's third run, which was the last run of the whole, is the highest difficulty "Triple Cork 1440" that makes three vertical and four horizontal turns on the axis that exceeds the previous tournament.
Moreover, it was a masterpiece performance that puts three quads in one run.
Hirano finally reached the top of the Olympics with a big difference of 11 points over White.
It was also the moment when one era of the halfpipe world ended and a new history was carved.
Even so, immediately after the final, the two hugged each other tightly, and Hirano gave the utmost respect to the first person, saying, "Sean continued to challenge and was a great stimulus."
Hirano, who has longed for White and has been honing his skills.
And, as Hirano grows up, White is aiming for even higher heights.
The finals of the Beijing Olympics and the Snowboard Men's Halfpipe were also a stage where those two thoughts were put together.
