Wednesday's Hot Clicks: Shaun White Is Golden With Crazy Olympic Halfpipe Run

Make it three career Olympic gold medals for Shaun White after a stunning final run in the halfpipe at PyeongChang.

Shaun White, back on top

On Monday night (or Tuesday morning, depending on where you were in the world), Chloe Kim became America's snowboarding god with her jaw-dropping gold medal win in the women's halfpipe. Well, 24 hours later, it was the turn of Shaun White, the OG, to snatch the spotlight back—and boy did he. Thanks to a stunning pair of 1440s back to back on his third and final run, White stole first place from Japan's Ayumu Hirano for the third gold of his Olympic career. But you're not here for me blabbing; you're here for the sweet sweet highlights.

The robots won't end us yet

[youtube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-mwXX0Tn2Y]

Yesterday, we learned that there are now dog-like robots capable of opening doors, and we feared for the future. Today, we learned that, while the metal ones will still come for us in the night, we'll at least still kick their asses when it comes to skiing.

Being an Olympian seems pretty rad

Why won't celebrity chefs come and make me dessert? [holds finger to earpiece] Oh, because I've never won a gold medal? Ah, I see.

Odds and Ends

How does Kevin Garnett get his hoodie to stick to the side of his head? He explains all ... Our own Amy Parlapiano hands out medals for figure skating song choices, with Paul Anka's cover of "Wonderwall" featuring prominently ... The NCAA vacating two seasons' worth of wins for Notre Dame cost the Fighting Irish a lot of spots on the all-time wins list ... Congrats to Michael Phelps, who's a proud new papa ... Here's a cool story about double amputee Rudy Garcia-Tolson completing the 86-floor Empire State Building race ... Ray Allen wasn't at Paul Pierce's number retirement, but he still has love for his former teammate ... This woman is convinced she's married to Tyler Perry (spoiler: she isn't) ... LeBron James will soon be bringing a remake of seminal 1990s hit House Party to a theater near you ... Is a Seinfeld return in the works? Jerry Seinfeld says [Jerry Seinfeld ehhhhh and shrug].
