The Winter X Games Tignes has just upped its ante

The event now in its 3rd year in Tignes has already got an impressive list of invited athletes but the addition of Shaun White will be sure to attract more attention and more spectators.
Just last month Shaun White walked away with a video game like perfect 100 run in the Aspen Winter X Games so we will just have to wait to see if the snowboard prodigy can pull off a repeat in Tignes.

Other riders in event include France’s Xavier Bertoni, Mathieu Crepel and last years champ Kevin Rolland, whilst from the UK James 'Woodsy' Woods will be hoping for another medal.

Full schedule can be found on our Tignes calendar.
