In the quarter-finals of the Winter Olympics snowboarding men's steeplechase, the fourth group, the only Asian athlete, Japan's Naoya Takahara, fell behind on the start, only skied a few tens of meters in the first obstacle zone and was directly eliminated. Asians, especially China, are very backward in this project, because there is no suitable venue in the past, and if this venue is retained in the future, the Chinese will certainly improve the level rapidly, and it is expected that the next Winter Olympics can see chinese male and female athletes in the elimination rounds.
The top eight are all European and North American athletes.
