That Shaun White on the medal stand. His face! He just looked like such a little boy to have achieved this thing — this extraordinary thing. There was one moment as the anthem played where his face went from awe to glee — complete, utter, this-is-the-best-Christmas-ever GLEE! Then seconds later, his face was in his hands, overcome, overwhelmed.
The moment was simply left alone, allowed to be BEAUTIFUL, and it was.
Congratulations, kid.
(He’s from my necka the woods. Can I please say I know him?)
I loved the whole cornucopia of emotions he went through … it was truly a great moment.
I know. You just wanted to hug him.
