PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — The legend, the reckless upstart, and the calm wonder have been orbiting each other for quite a long time, exchanging limit driving keeps running with one eye on the halfpipe and the other on their hotly anticipated faceoff in the South Korean mountains, the one for all the swag and an Olympic gold to boot. 

Time to shred. 

Shaun White, Australia's Scotty James and Japan's Ayumu Hirano conveyed an epic mystery trailer in qualifying, setting up a finals standoff at Phoenix Snow Park on Wednesday that could convey one of the vital crossroads of the Pyeongchang Olympics. 

Each of the three posted no less than one keeps running of 95 or better on Tuesday, well clear of whatever is left of the other nine men who will attempt to elbow their direction onto the platform. It won't be simple, not with White, James and Hirano pushing each other and their game all the while. 

White breathed out in the wake of setting up a 93.75 on his first run, guaranteeing the two-time Olympic champion of a spot in the finals. The 31-year-old senior statesmen didn't anticipate endeavoring to go considerably greater on his second run, however subsequent to watching James, Hirano and American partner Ben Ferguson go huge he understood he didn't have much decision. 

"I began seeing everyone putting in these extraordinary runs and I figured I would only sort of step it up and they roused me to send it," said White, whose 98.50-second run did exclude a 1440-degree bounce. That is a twofold contorting twofold flip (four 360-degree body turns taking all things together) in case you're endeavoring to keep up. 

Inquired as to whether he was endeavoring to communicate something specific, White shrugged and said no. Gracious, and furthermore yes. 

"It resembles I knew I had it in me and I viewed these youthful folks finishing these stunning runs and it let go me up," White said. "I simply needed to demonstrate this is the thing that I've been doing as long as I can remember and I'm here to put it down." 

It additionally implies White will have the last keep running of the evening, a spot where he took off to gold in Turin in 2006 and Vancouver in 2010. He didn't split the best three in Sochi, a misfortune that spooky him on occasion before he hit reset the previous summer and indicated South Korea. 

The 19-year-old Hirano edged James and Ferguson at X Games under three weeks back, an occasion White skipped in the wake of securing his Olympic spot while penetrating an ideal 100-keep running at an occasion prior in January. 

James communicated dissatisfaction over the scoring, venting soon after landing in Pyeongchang that he felt "a bit shafted" by the judges on occasion. The 23-year-old Aussie, who wears red boxing gloves while riding, strolled back those remarks in the wake of setting up a 96.75. 

"I've conversed with the judges," James said. "I'm endeavoring to be proactive about it more than negative. I realize what I must do essentially now." 

So does Hirano, who was blessed at 13 years of age as White's beneficiary obvious. Presently they'll end up in a similar pipe before the world. 

"We two have a fundamentally the same as level," Hirano said. "I recognize what he does and he comprehends what I do." 

While there's a shot of snow in the gauge, wind ought to be insignificant, setting the phase for a show loaded with steez (that is the style in the event that you were pondering). Ferguson, who set up a 91, isn't removing himself from the discussion either. 

"Just got the opportunity to go higher, be smoother, put some additional sauce on there," he said. "Perhaps go for a little Hail Mary." 

Try not to stress, that is not a snowboarding term, it's Ferguson recognizing the field is stacked with maybe the best gathering of snowboarders since the halfpipe appeared at the Olympics in Nagano 20 years prior. 

It may take 100 to win. It's a score James sort of laughed at, however, one he's not going to contend with in the event that it happens to fly up by his name. 

"I'm not enormous on the ideal scores but rather on the off chance that they give one out to me I'll certainly endure it," he said with a giggle. 

And the distance to the highest point of the award stands as well.
