On February 7, Beijing time, the winter Olympics snowboard slope obstacle course finals ended. Although China's Su Yiming only finished second, it achieved a major breakthrough for the Chinese team.
After the game, Max Parot, the champion of Canada, was accused by many netizens of being extra points by his fellow referees. But in reality, Parrott's story is quite inspirational. At one point 3 years ago, he was battling death. Don't say exercise, that is, the possibility of standing up strongly, is not great.
After the game, Su Yiming took the initiative to hug the champion, and the relationship between the two was quite good.
As soon as the snowboard slope obstacle course competition was over, Canadian referees became the focus of Chinese Internet criticism. However, a number of professional media revealed that the scoring of Canadian referees is not a big problem. In addition, an American referee gave Su Yiming a perfect score, which was much higher than the other referees.
In addition, the third McMorris is also Canadian. If he wants to add points, why doesn't his score increase?
Su Yiming was born in 2004 and is only 17 years old, 10 years younger than champion Parot. Its competition experience and fame vary greatly. The latter, who won the silver medal in the event at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. Before the Beijing Winter Olympics, Chinese athletes had fairly average results in this event.
After the game, Parrott told reporters (Agence France-Presse and other media) that he almost left the world 3 years ago. Shortly after the 18-year Winter Olympics, he was diagnosed with cancer from Hodgkin's lymphoma. In 2019, he was weak and lying in the hospital room.
Parot said: "At that time, I didn't know what the future would be, my muscles began to atrophy, and I didn't have the strength at all. I've been praying that I can ride the snowboard in the snow once again. It was the toughest time of my life, not to mention winning the gold medal at the Winter Olympics, it was hard to imagine returning to the field again.
Throughout 2019, Parot received 12 chemotherapy treatments. He had lost a lot of muscle, but he hadn't given up. He writes a daily diary on his social media to share his anti-cancer process with netizens. At the end of 2019, Parot overcame his illness and regained his strength.
Before the summer of 2021, Parrott began to resume training. Fortunately, he was talented and relatively young. In less than 8 months, Parrot won the championship.
His good friend, Mark McMorris, also from Canada, finished third in the project.
Compared with them, Su Yiming is much younger. Although he did not win the championship at the Beijing Winter Olympics, the runner-up was also a major breakthrough for the Chinese team. Any medal is equally important for young Chinese players.
In addition, due to her excellent performance, Su Yiming has gained a large number of fans, and most of them are foreign fans. This is quite important for Su Yiming's future matches.
In scoring items, popularity, number of entries, and past results may affect the referee's decision.
Canada's two players are veterans of the battle and are also legends in this project. Parot's story has touched many people, and McMorris is the face of this project.
Su Yiming will be followed by other competitions, so let's cheer on this young Chinese player.
