Ayumu Hirano won his second straight Olympic silver medal in the snowboarding men's halfpipe at the Pyeongchang Games on Wednesday after Shaun White of the United States denied him gold in his final run.

Hirano's 95.25 points in his second run was 2.50 off the mark set by White, who returned to the top of the podium for his third gold, after falling and finishing fourth at the last Olympics in Sochi.

Scotty James of Australia took bronze with 92.00. Hirano's compatriot Raibu Katayama came in seventh with 87.00 from his third run.
