On the 4th, the United States Steamboat, Beijing time morning, 2021-2022 Snowboard Jump World Cup second leg. In the first round, the hand grasped the forevel blade after turning 1800 inside, 85 points; in the second round, turning 1800 outside to grasp the tail of the board, 70.25 points.
155.25 points, with this result, Su Yiming was directly promoted from the first Chinese male athlete to reach the final of the Snowboard Jump World Cup to the first Chinese men's snowboard big jump world champion, as well as the world cup overall champion.
"Because I like it." Asked how to make such a breakthrough, the 17-year-old gave his own answer.
Su Yiming became the first Chinese men's snowboard jumper world champion.
The interview is scheduled for the morning of Beijing time on the morning of the 6th, almost a day after he won the championship.
Su Yiming said that the night that had just passed, he basically did not sleep much. "I kept thinking about the process from the time I first started skiing to yesterday. It feels like a dream, it's just amazing. ”
Thirteen years ago, when Su Yiming was 4 years old, his father took him to the ski slopes for the first time. "In the beginning, I simply liked snow, liked to play, and when I first tried snowboarding, I didn't even know what kind of sport it was."
But after trying, Su Yiming liked skiing, and even though her later more widely known experience was that she had starred in movies such as "Wise Tiger Mountain", the image of the "little plug" galloping in the ice and snow in the movie was more like a continuation of a hobby.
As Beijing and Zhangjiakou won the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, the dream of participating in the Winter Olympics at his doorstep began to sprout in his heart. Since then, the State General Administration of Sport has openly carried out the selection of materials for the big jumping platform project to the whole society, and in 2016, it held a national event open to everyone.
In that event, Su Yiming came to the fore, and after that, he was selected for the cross-border Chinese snowboarding national training team.
"Actually, it's changed a lot for me, but the only thing I think hasn't changed is my love of snowboarding." He said, "For me, the most important thing is to keep the original heart of the love of snowboarding at that time, no matter what I do, it is because I like it." Only by loving this thing will I do my best to complete this thing. ”
The "best effort" is reflected in the practice again and again. In the eyes of coach Yasuhiro Sato, who attended the interview together, Su Yiming is a "genius player, plus the acquired hard-working player" "He constantly focuses on daily training, is not willing to accept the status quo, and has a higher pursuit in his heart." ”
People who are not willing to accept the status quo will always seek a breakthrough, and "breakthrough" is Su Yiming's recent keyword. Before winning the World Cup, he had just successfully completed the internal turn in 1980 (five and a half weeks of turnaround) at the Stubai training camp in Austria, which was the first time in the world that anyone had done it.
"1800, 1980, it sounds like a 180-degree change, but in fact, for us, this 180-degree will take a long time." Su Yiming said, "After hundreds of times of practice on the air cushion, we will go to the snow to try." ”
"Although [the sport] is very certain for us, it's still an extreme sport, it's very dangerous, so when I'm training or trying some moves, I need 100% concentration."
"I am particularly fortunate and privileged to have such strong support from my country behind my back, and it is because of this support that I will not have more other ideas, and I can focus on what I want to accomplish 100% without distractions."
"What I'm more focused on now is preparing for the Winter Olympics, which is my biggest goal at the moment." The performance of the Big Jump World Cup has made Su Yiming one step closer to this goal. He remembers when he was a child, his parents took him to the "Bird's Nest" to watch the Snow World Cup. In the eyes of Su Yiming at that time, the jumping platform was "huge".
"I think one day if I could stand on this stage and compete with the best players in the world, it wouldn't be better, that's my dream." So the significance of this championship, he said, is "very big", "it is a recognition for me, and it also gives me more confidence to prepare for the World Cup after that, and then gain more experience and get good results in the Winter Olympics."
Since the big jump and slope obstacle skills are one place, Su Yiming will continue to compete for points and rankings in the next three slope obstacle course World Cups to meet the participation standards. At the same time, he is also polishing the stability and success rate of his difficult actions in various projects.
"No matter how well you train or how high the success rate is, it's actually this jump when you play, and you only have one chance." "Every day there are different plans to complete, every day a little bit of progress, and by the time it comes to the Winter Olympics, I can show everyone my best level," he said. ”
Further into the future, he also has many different plans. "I want to keep going to more races and then get good results in races all over the world. I also want to be able to make the national anthem play everywhere in the world through my own efforts. ”
At the age of 17, life has just spread out in front of his eyes, talking about the unknown future, Su Yiming's face is the unique vitality and self-confidence of teenagers.
"As long as you love this thing, under the premise of safety, you must invest 100% and do what you love." 」 He said, "I believe that if you try hard, nothing is impossible to accomplish. ”
