Wary White pulls the plug on slopestyle, citing safety concerns

Shaun White jammed his wrist on one jump and watched the world's best snowboarders join him in tumbling down the super-sized, super-scary Olympic slopestyle course.

He decided to step away from the danger and give himself a better chance in the event he knows he can win.

The world's most famous snowboarder pulled out of the new Olympic event on Wednesday, saying that after much deliberation, he has decided to bypass a chance at winning two gold medals at these Games and instead concentrate on the halfpipe, where he will have a chance to win his third straight title next week.
