Shaun White relishing half-pipe course

Team USA's Shaun White says that he has no problem with the half-pipe course at the Sochi Olympics.

American snowboarder Shaun White believes that the half-pipe course at the Sochi Games will be "interesting".

The 27-year-old pulled out of the inaugural slopestyle snowboarding event at the 2014 Winter Olympics due to safety concerns.

"The pipe is interesting," Digital Journal quotes him as saying. "It has the potential to be amazing.

"There were some first-day jitters - not for me, but for the pipe. This new snow turns into a sandy consistency but texturised.

"It has a little too much vert, but that's an easy fix, it's better that it's over than under. Under's not good. I'm happy. I think it's going to be great."

White is a two-time Olympic gold medallist.
