White easily qualified for the finals at the U.S. Grand Prix at Mammoth Mountain but opted to not participate in the finals after tweaking his ankle. The 35-year-old White plans to continue to train. The Olympic team doesn’t need to be finalized until Jan. 21. Two-time Olympic champions Jamie Anderson and David Wise were among the athletes named to Team USA after the Grand Prix.
