In the men's snowboard slope obstacle course final at the Beijing Winter Olympics on February 7, China's Su Yiming won a silver medal, just like his name. But after the game, many Chinese spectators were uneven. Obviously, only Su Yiming has completed the turn 1800 action continuously, how can he not fight the Canadian player Palot?
Before the Beijing Winter Olympics, Su Yiming did not show the state of competing for gold and silver in the Winter Olympic Games in the World Cup. But coming to China's home stadium, Su Yiming played hard at the Beijing Winter Olympics. In the preliminary round, Su Yiming was a blockbuster. He excelled in the props and jumping areas, ranking first to advance to the finals. In the final on the 7th, Su Yiming maintained the forefront of the three jumps, especially the second and third jumps perfectly jumped out of the 1800-degree movement of the turn. In the end, he defeated his idol, The Canadian McMorris, and won a silver medal in his first Winter Olympics. But the audience, who focused on Su Yiming's performance, also hugged him. After all, Su Yiming is the only player in the whole game who has successfully completed the 1800-degree difficult action of turning in the platform area in a row. But in the second jump, Su Yiming scored a maximum score of 88.70 points, or was overwhelmed by Canada's Palote's 90.96 points. How do the players' scores come about?
The info system at the Beijing Winter Olympics showed that players were divided into six segments in the props area and the platform area. Taking the best second round performance of Canada's Palote and China's Su Yiming as an example, Palote scored high scores of 8.05, 8.85 and 9.05 in the props section, respectively, and Su Yiming scored 7.90, 7.20 and 7.45 in the same three scoring segments. In these three scoring segments, Su Yiming formed a gap with his opponent. Compared with herself, although the difficulty of Su Yiming's movements is the same as in the preliminaries, the degree of movement stretching is not as good as her own preliminaries. In terms of the difficulty of jumping, Su Yiming does have an advantage over Palot. In the case of similar landing quality, Su Yiming's overall action difficulty is a little more difficult than that of his opponent. This is also reflected in the scores.
In three scoring segments in the jump zone, Parot scored 9.35, 8.50 and 9.30 points in three jump moves. Su Yiming scored 8.7, 9.0, and 9.65 points in three scoring segments. The 9.65 points were also the highest on the day of the final. This is a reward for Su Yiming's perfect turning 1800 moves. The Beijing Winter Olympics' scoring system showed that players scored 60 percent of their technical scores in all six zones. The overall performance score of the players accounts for 40% of the total score. Su Yiming's overall performance score reached 38.80, higher than Canada's Palote's 37.86 points. However, due to the previous score gap in the props area and the first two jumps, Su Yiming finally lost with a gap of 2.26 points.
Although there are regrets, Su Yiming also has great gains. The first time he stood on the Winter Olympics, he competed with his idol, Canada's McMorris, and won the silver medal by defeating his opponent. Canadian champion Palot, who has previously participated in the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, has far more experience than Su Yiming. Su Yiming's silver medal is enough to go down in history. It is also the best reward for those who have the courage to chase their dreams.
