After completing the first 1800-degree aerial turn in the whole field, Su Yiming raised his hands to meet the cheers of the audience. Sliding into the finish area, Su Yiming could not suppress his excitement, and he lay down in the snow excitedly, screaming indulgently. After a short wait, the live big screen scored 88.70 points, which was the second highest score in the whole field, and the audience boiled again. With this skate, Su Yiming, the youngest player in the competition, won a silver medal in men's slope steeplechase in snowboarding for his first time in the Winter Olympics, which was the first winter Olympic men's medal in China.

On February 7, the beijing winter olympic snowboarding men's slope steeplechase final was held in The Genting Ski Park in Zhangjiakou Division. The wonderful performance of the first place in the qualifying round to reach the final made Su Yiming highly anticipated. In the first round of sliding, he scored 78.38 points, temporarily fourth. In the face of the excellent performance of his opponents, he chose to upgrade the difficulty, and the second round directly took out a combination of 1440 degrees and 1620 degrees and 1800 degrees. Su Yiming said after the game that this action combination had never been shown in an official competition before, and the difficulty of 1800 degrees was the highest in the whole game.

For this long-awaited winter Olympic final, Su Yiming made full preparations. The second round of this set of action combinations has been tempered and polished countless times in the usual training, and every action choreography and technical point is kept in mind. Su Yiming revealed that in the week with the greatest training intensity, he used 4 snowboards. At the post-match press conference, he and his coach Yasuhiro Sato had a big hug. Affected by the epidemic, Su Yiming and the coach could not meet for a year and a half, and communication at that time could only be carried out online. 'For this game, we overcame a lot of difficulties and did our best. Yasuhiro Sato said.

In this competition, two Canadians, Max Parrott and Mark McMorris, won gold and bronze medals respectively. Parrot scored 90.96 points in the second round and won the championship. McMurris scored 88.53 points in the third round and won a medal at the Winter Olympics for the third consecutive time.

After the game, Su Yiming, who was wearing a national flag and holding an "ice pier" in his hand, looked happy: "Without my motherland, I would not be able to get today's results." If my parents hadn't taken me on skiing for the first time, probably I wouldn't be on the podium at the Winter Olympics today. I would especially like to thank all those who supported me, cared about me, and cheered for me, this achievement was achieved by all of us!"

The Beijing Winter Olympics snowboard slope obstacle course and the big jump event share a quota of athletes, after which Su Yiming will go to the Beijing division to participate in the snowboard big jumping competition that began on the 14th in Shougang Big Jump.
