Ice Hockey has had many legends play the game, but remember the greatest one of all? He goes by the name Wayne Gretzky. Wayne is the guy that holds 61 records and has won 4 Stanley Cups. He is also the guy that holds many records that will most likely never be broken, like when he scored 894 goals in his NHL career. Every kid asks their parents “ what made Gretzky so good” and every parent responds saying hard work but, hard work isn't enough alone. Wayne played every shift like it was his last and did what he was best at. If any really skilled player doesn't work hard their skill won't show. So the guys that work their hardest will have lots of skill show and are the guys that turn out like Gretzky. “I wasn’t naturally gifted in terms of size and speed; everything I did in hockey I worked for.”

In the 2018 Olympics Shaun White rightfully won the gold medal in the men's halfpipe. There was a question in which whether Shaun White should have gotten the gold medal in the 2018 Olympics. I believe that Connor Manning was correct in giving Shaun White the gold medal. Shaun White earned the gold medal because of his technique, skill, and amplitude. One of the reasons Shaun White obtained the gold medal was because of his technique and the amount of his air. Another reason, was because the risk of his run. The final reason was because the judges liked his run better than the other runs. Overall, that is why Shaun White deserved the gold medal in the 2018 men's halfpipe.
