He wears black ski gear, a red number vest, and a gold-encrusted "golden hoop cloud" on his sleeves that gleams in the snow.
After hugging the coach, he stood at the starting point of the "Snow Great Wall", and with the "SU Yiming" voice briefing, this confident teenager rushed down the snow slope on a skateboard -
Straight feet on the pole, up the steep slope, flip down the eaves, three smooth and creative movements. Entering the jumping platform area with a rapid heartbeat, the teenager's speed is getting faster and faster, and he has completed three difficult actions of reverse angle 1440, inner rotation 1260, and internal rotation 1620, rushing to the back of the finish line, leaving a piece of "snow smoke"...
Coherent! Ride the dust! A game to be won!
"86.80 points, first place in the group!"
Outside the arena, cheers rang out. In the audience, many people stood up and waved flags in their hands.
Su Yiming, who had just completed the action, said to the people who supported him with both hands than heart. Under the snow mirror, there is a smiling face.
This is the first time that a Chinese athlete has participated in the winter olympic snowboarding men's steeplechase competition.
This is the first time that a Chinese athlete has reached the final of the snowboard slope obstacle course at the Winter Olympics.
Su Yiming, the debut of the Winter Olympics, made history!
"I did my best to finish my best performance, that's the only thing I had to do, I especially enjoyed the game!"
On February 6, Su Yiming, who stood on the Olympic field for the first time, told the Shanxi Evening News reporter after the game.
At 12:30 noon on the 6th, the Beijing Winter Olympic Snowboard Men's Slope Steeplechase Qualification Tournament was held in Zhangjiakou Genting Ski Park, which was the first time that Chinese athletes appeared in the Winter Olympics Men's Snowboard Slope Obstacle Course Competition. Su Yiming, the only Chinese athlete among the 30 athletes to participate in the event, is also the youngest of all the athletes.
This men's slope obstacle course qualifier gathered too many top players in the snowboard world, and the top few players who appeared in the first few were the top players who won the medal -
The first to appear was the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics gold medalist - the American raymond Gerrard, who came to defend his title, and played very stably on the spot; the second appearance was Canada's Sebastian Tudent, who won the gold medal in the Snowboard Slope Steeplechase World Cup, and his strength should not be underestimated; the fourth appearance of the snowboard superstar and Canadian Mark McMorris, he was highly completed in the first round, a set of smooth and wonderful moves, a good interpretation of his "snowboard god" The title. In addition, his inspirational story and his trip to the third Winter Olympics have become the focus of media attention.
In the snowboard competition site, the climate, wind direction, wind speed, any slight difference may affect the athlete's performance.
According to the rules, the men's steeplechase qualifiers are held in two rounds, and the one with the better result is taken as the ranking result. Of the 30 participants in the qualifying round, only the top 12 qualify for the final. In the second round, Su Yiming, who saved his strength and slightly restrained, did not surpass his previous scores, but this was no longer important, he still used his stunning performance in the first round to reach the final of the winter Olympic men's snowboard slope obstacle course with the first place in the qualification round. Canada's McMorris and America's Fitzsimmons reached the final with second and third places, respectively.
On February 7, what awaited Su Yiming was the snowboard men's slope obstacle course final, which was destined to be a more intense competition, and the finalists would go all out to show their best, and the competition would be more brutal.
'I will learn from today's game and hope to play at a better level tomorrow. Su Yiming said.
I was interviewed by a reporter from Shanxi Evening News for the first time after the game
Shanxi young player Su Yiming: Standing on the winter Olympic field, thank you
What I didn't expect was that a preliminary round of men's slope obstacle course skills attracted a large number of media and enthusiastic spectators to the scene .
Some reporters rushed to Zhangjiakou from Beijing and Yanqing to Zhangjiakou, some reporters rushed to the Genting News Center 3 hours in advance, hoping to book a seat in the "Mixed Mining Area", and some reporters waited in the snow for the first player in the first round of the slope barrier, waiting for the 28th Chinese player to appear... Of course, there are still many spectators who stay in the snow field of minus ten degrees Celsius early, waiting to refuel.
They all came for Su Yiming.
On the morning of the 6th, Su Yiming got up at 8 o'clock, set off at 9:30, came to the rest area of the competition site, watched the final of the women's slope obstacle course for a while, and then warmed up before the game.
"He's excited today," said Bai Yang, Su Yiming's physical recovery coach.
At noon on the same day, the Shanxi Evening News reporter watched this tense and exciting competition at the site of the slope obstacle course competition in Genting Park, and interviewed Su Yiming, who had just advanced to the final, for the first time after the game.
"My mentality for this competition is still very well adjusted, and it stands to reason that my first olympic participation in the Olympic Games should be particularly nervous, but when I stood on the starting stage and saw that many people were supporting me, I felt that there was nothing to be nervous about."
Su Yiming said that doing his best to complete his best performance was the only thing he had to do on the field at that time. "I don't have too many distractions."
The slope obstacle course consists of a series of obstacles, jumping platforms, poles and platforms, which are set up to test the creativity of the players and to demonstrate the ability to display a variety of exciting and ornamental combinations of movements.
The track of the Beijing Winter Olympic Obstacle Course first passes through 3 obstacle zones and then enters 3 jumping areas, completing a total of 6 different areas. Many of the players who appeared in the front made mistakes in the conversion from the prop area to the jumping area, which made Su Yiming, who came from the back, sweat.
But everything is just worry. Su Yiming's movements are very complete, stable, smooth and perfect.
"When we do some moves on the second 'house', it is a great pleasure for many players, because we can complete their favorite moves on such a special prop."
The slope obstacle course of the Beijing Winter Olympics reflects the strong "Chinese taste", the prop area has a "eaves" shape, and the two sides of the jumping area are the design of the Great Wall, so the competition venue is also known as the "Snow Great Wall", which is very distinctive.
"This track, probably the best slope obstacle course I've ever skated, is very comfortable to angle, both props and jumps, and allows people to try some of the harder moves in safety." Su Yiming said.
In the past, after Su Yiming finished the game, he would do the action of "holding his fists with both hands", which was a very Chinese gesture to show respect to his opponents and thank the people around him. After the game on the 6th, looking at the spectators who cheered for themselves in the cold weather outside the field, he deliberately "compared his heart" with his hands to express his gratitude. After all, it was cheers from home.
"Thanks! Special thanks to everyone for being able to support me, including in the departure area, the landing area, many people are cheering for me, this is a very big support for me, and my motherland is also behind me to support me, let me enjoy this game without worry, without any pressure, do my best to win glory for the country. ”
In the Winter Olympics, Su Yiming competed with the world's top snowboarders, Raymond Gerrard, Sebastian Tudent, Mark McMorris... In the competition that day, the youngest Su Yiming was competing with many of her childhood idols.
"I think it's a particularly rare thing for me to be able to compete on the same field as the idols I loved when I started skiing since I was a child, and I especially enjoy playing with them." Su Yiming said that every player does their best to complete the competition, he likes this kind of competition in the fierce competition, "I hope that tomorrow everyone can play their best level." ”
Su Yiming told the Shanxi Evening News reporter that he would call his mother as soon as possible after the game, because his parents were his first teachers of snowboarding, and they would not have tried the sport without them.
As a Shanxi athlete, Huang Haihong, director of the Shanxi Provincial Ice and Snow Sports Center, also paid attention to the competition for the first time, and for Su Yiming's performance on the day, he said: "In the qualifying round, Su Yiming played very steadily, the action was completed smoothly, and entered tomorrow's final with the first place in the preliminaries, looking forward to his better play and performance in tomorrow's final." ”
The game on the 7th makes people look forward to it, makes people nervous, and makes people unpredictable.
But as Su Yiming said, "I don't think about grades, I just focus on what I want to do and what actions I want to complete, and I need to focus more on these." Because, "When I'm standing on a snowboard, that's when I'm happiest." Su Yiming said.
