Among them, Yang Shuorui is currently only 18 years old. As early as three years ago, in the slope obstacle course of the International Snow Federation Points Race in South Korea, Yang Shuorui, who was 15 years old at the time, made a big splash and won the championship with 76.20 points. However, when he came to the Winter Olympics, Yang Shuorui's luck was really bad, and he was injured before the game, resulting in an injury to his left eye. But she did not give up, let alone withdraw from the competition, but chose to bravely participate.
In the first jump, affected by the injury, Yang Shuorui made a significant mistake in the process of taking off, scoring only 38.25 points. In the 2nd jump, she chose the same type of action, but unfortunately made another mistake and only scored 40.5 points. In the 3rd jump, Yang Shuorui appeared again, and although he still made mistakes, he also scored 55.5 points.
