| The Winter Olympics: Su Yiming is very powerful, and I am extremely proud of him

Mark McMurris stared nervously at the distant electronic display, where he was replaying the last glide he had just completed.

The men's steeplechase final for snowboarding has reached its final moments. Taking the lead on the pitch was compatriot Max Parrott, who had finished the game. In second place, Su Yiming, a 17-year-old Chinese teenager who appeared in the finale, was the next to appear.

Although the sound of music and the voice of the emcee stirred up the scene, in the hearts of all those who followed McMaris's jump score, these could not make waves at all.

The referee finally gave the score, 88.53 points. It is 0.17 points lower than Su Yiming, who is in second place. "I can still be proud because I don't think it's special that someone has ever won bronze on this project three times in a row." He also gave the compliment to teammate Max Parrote, who eventually won the championship.

And for Su Yiming, who finally won the runner-up and regarded himself as an idol, he can still remember seeing him when he first came to China in 2010, "At that time, he surrounded me and said that I was his idol, when he was still a child, but now with a 'bang', he has become a strong, tall boy." 」 He's awesome, incredibly good, I'm incredibly proud of him, and I'm very proud to be on the podium with him. "He has a bright future, as a host player, for the country, he's under a lot of pressure, but he really did it, it's really great." ”
