To everyone that has watched me over the years, thank you for the love and support because here we go again .”

Fifth Olympics’ goal is fun and fulfilling for Shaun
In an interview, Shaun revealed how every Olympics is a different experience for him. He said, “Every Olympics presents a new challenge and it’s fun and it’s fulfilling. It’s so fulfilling to learn a new trick and have a goal. There’s ups and downs. It’s living. It’s great and usually there’s something amazing at the end, win or lose. I’m excited about the journey of it all.”
