The Beijing Winter Olympics snowboarding men's slope slalom final was a powerful one, and in the end, China's 17-year-old Su Yiming won a valuable silver medal with 88.70 points in the second round, which also created the best result in the history of the Winter Olympics for men's snowboarding in China. But after the game, some other voices still appeared, after all, after watching the score, it is easy to think that the Canadian referee of the referee group gave his national player Max Palot a high score, suppressing Su Yiming's score, so did Su Yiming's silver medal have misjudged?
In addition to the jumping area, there is also a prop area, where 6 referees are responsible for scoring a single action in each area, and 3 judges are responsible for scoring the overall score. If there is a spectator watching from the beginning of the qualifiers, it is not difficult to find that many players choose to do 180 degrees or 270 degrees of action in the props area of the qualifiers, up to a maximum of 540 degrees. And these players all had difficulty in the final, with 630-degree movements becoming standard, and even more players making 810-degree moves.
Su Yiming in the final 3 rounds of the game, the props area of the 3 actions as the same - 270 + 270, front flip, 540 degrees, which shows that he only has this set of actions in the props area. Therefore, after the fact, some netizens PO came out of the referee's scoring comparison chart, which will obviously show that the Canadian referee has a large difference in the scores of the two players, but this difference is mainly because of the large difference in the difficulty of the actions of the two players. Generally, players will choose to increase the difficulty in the third prop area where the Canadian referee is responsible for scoring, and Palot uses an 810-degree move, compared to Su Yiming's 540-degree action. However, simply looking at the score comparison and ignoring the difference in difficulty is prone to some misunderstanding.
Qualifying-level moves to go to the finals are certainly not as difficult as the opponents. However, Su Yiming also understands where his strengths are, he did not choose to learn from his strengths, but to use his strengths to avoid weaknesses, using the difficulty of the jumping action to improve his score, and even made the first 1800-degree action in the whole field! It was also the second player in the world to make 1800 degrees in the slope sculpting competition, but the first American to complete this action, Dusty, also won the second place in the competition at that time, which shows that the number of turns in this competition is not completely universal. Su Yiming herself said in an interview that she was satisfied with her score and made her feel very happy to win the silver medal.
"Why is 1800 not as high as 1620?" Even foreign netizens have raised such questions, but even if it is a jumping action, in addition to the difficulty coefficient, there is also a completion score. The referee will score the players by their aerial posture, height of the air, including landing, including the player's action of grabbing the board, and even the difference in the location of the grasp board will be taken into account. So in this game, it's not the number of rotations that can determine everything.
Then the reason for the high score of Canada's Palote is about to come out, and the general audience may not know about this person, but the silver medalist of the project at the last Winter Olympics also has a nickname - "Deflection Rotation Textbook", and his standard degree of deflection rotation is one of the best in the world, so even if the rotation cycle is insufficient, he can get a high score by completing the accuracy of the action. Just like diving, the attitude of the air rotation is also an important consideration, not just the difficulty of the action and the size of the splash.
Of course, two of the nine referees in the stadium are from Canada, which is also easy to make people suspicious, but this also shows the strong strength of Canada in this sport. McMorris, the bronze medalist of the tournament, is also a Canadian player, and another player, Tutang, also made it to the final. So instead of dwelling on the gold medal controversy, think about how to make the sport more popular across the country and more affordable; that's what the Beijing Winter Olympics want to do most – bring spectators to the skies.
17-year-old Su Yiming can become a silver medalist in the Winter Olympics from a lover, and the future can be expected to live up to Shaohua! This is the true meaning of Su Yiming's silver medal.
