One is the overall champion of the 2021-2022 Snowboard U-Field World Cup, one is the former Winter Olympic runner-up winner, and the other is known as the "female version of Sean White", with different ages and different experiences, but because of the same identity as the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics - "the hottest gold medal impactor".
In the just-concluded Beijing Winter Olympics snowboarding U-shaped track skill qualification competition, the majority of snow friends saw Cai Xuetong, Liu Jiayu and Chloe Jin as they wished.
The three powerful players competed on the same stage and finally advanced to the final with 87.25 points (Chloe-Jin), 83.25 points (Cai Xuetong) and 72.25 points (Liu Jiayu).
Project Introduction
The full name of the event participated by the three people is "Women's Snowboarding U-shaped Track Skill Competition", which is one of the minor snowboarding events at the Beijing Winter Olympics. Snowboarding U-shaped track competition, the venue is a U-shaped slide, 120 meters long, 15 meters wide, 3.5 meters deep, with an average gradient of 18 degrees. In contrast, skateboards are slightly softer and wider, and the soles of the boots are thicker. During the race, runners are required to complete maneuvers such as sliding, spinning and jumping in the U-shaped slide. At the same time, the referee will give a score based on the overall effect of the player's completed action, such as height, rotation, skill, and difficulty. Players who make mistakes in the game will be deducted points, ranging from 1 point to 25 points, depending on the degree of mistake. There is no doubt that if you want to win the championship, you must successfully complete the super difficult moves that other players cannot complete.
