Shaun White closed out Winter X Games 13 Sunday by capturing his second-straight gold medal in the Men’s SuperPipe — the first person ever to accomplish the feat.

The winning run came on White’s last as then-frontrunner Kevin Pearce watched.  Pearce ended up in second with a 90.66 while Antti Autti was third with an 87.33.

The win gave White his ninth career Winter X Games gold medal, a record.

On Saturday White had an even better day when he captured the gold in Slopestyle.  His 96.00 tied a career-best score in that event.  Scotty Lago was second and Mikkel Bang scored third.

The full results follow.  Check out more at the official Winter X Games site.
