TIGNES, France – Olympian and double threat Shaun White who rides at Northstar took his second gold at European X Games Friday in the slopestyle competition. He executed yet another almost perfect score with a 97.00 on his second run with three doubles.

Jamie Anderson of South Lake Tahoe who rides at Sierra-at-Tahoe mimicked the nearly perfect run of White to take the top spot for the women.

Anderson’s winning run scored a 98.00 and went like this: cab to 270 off, half cab in to backside tailslide to fakie off, cab 720, switch backside 540, frontside 720 tail slide, to 270 out on the rainbow rail.

This is White’s 13th X Games gold medal and 18th X Games medal; his last time competing in X Games slopestyle was in 2009.

Chas Guldemond of Reno finished in sixth position after washing out on his landings.

A total of nine medals have been won for the U.S. out of a possible 15 with three more finals to go.
