Once upon a time, everyone called him "The Genius Boy." Today, at the Beijing Winter Olympics, netizens have called Su Yiming "the flying Su God"!
Today (February 15th), the gold medal in the men's snowboard jump at the Beijing Winter Olympics is also the best gift that Su Yiming gave to her 18th birthday three days later.
"Actually, it's already a lot for me now. Because through this opportunity, I can see so many people supporting me, whether it is family or friends, there are many people silently helping me and supporting me in front of the TV. At the Winter Olympics, I saw the strength of the motherland, and these things have become particularly precious to me. "Su Yiming's words have always been mature beyond age.
Because he knows very well that the so-called "genius" is not only due to talent, these two words are not enough to cover all his efforts and efforts on the way forward. At least from the perspective of the Red Star News reporter, perhaps "persistence" is more suitable to interpret Su Yiming's wonderful. His success, his persistence, can make more strivers full of motivation, sprinting in the direction they identify with, without interruption.

Give yourself the best birthday gift for your 18th birthday
In December 2019, the "Boiling Snow" INTERNATIONAL SNOWBOARD Snowboard Jumping World Cup was held at the newly completed Shougang Ski Jumping Platform. Su Yiming, a 16-year-old Chinese teenager, finished sixth in the group in the qualifying round, passing by the final. Despite this, Su Yiming was still very excited. Looking at the dazzling lights of the arena, he couldn't help but think, "Will I still be standing here in two years?" What will I do when the time comes? ”
On February 15, 2022, the men's final of the snowboard jump at the Beijing Winter Olympics. Su Yiming returned to the Shougang big jump platform and won the gold medal with a total score of 182.50 points, where he "soared". This is also the best gift that Su Yiming gave to her 18th birthday on February 18.

Su Yiming debuted with the aura of "genius teenager". At the age of 4, he went to the snow with his parents who were "enthusiasts" in snowboarding, got sponsorship from an internationally renowned ski brand at the age of 7, and became one of the top skaters in China at the age of 12. With the double blessing of hard work and talent, Su Yiming's road to becoming a talent can be described as "smooth all the way", and he is even more lonely in the domestic youth competition. Because of his skiing expertise, he was also selected by director Xu Kexiang and starred in the movie "Wise Tiger Mountain" in the small plug, and then appeared in a number of film and television dramas and variety shows.
On July 31, 2015, Beijing won the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympics. 11-year-old Su Yiming watched TV and couldn't sit still, "Skiing is what I love the most, if I can represent my country and participate in the world's highest level ski competition in my home country, how cool!" Therefore, when many of her peers have not yet thought about what to do in the future, Su Yiming has resolutely suspended her acting career and devoted all her spare energy to ski training.
Moving from the film circle to conquering the Winter Olympics seems like a teenager's whim, but it is not so easy in the middle. For Su Yiming, skiing and filming are not in conflict, because he likes it. But when he was determined to fight the Winter Olympics, it was different. "Because I want to do something well, I have to put 100 percent of my energy into what I want to do." Su Yiming understands very well that if he wants to get good results on skiing, he must be single-minded. So he decisively gave up filming and devoted himself to skiing.
Behind the genius of the teenager
It's a persistent effort
Skiing is not easy, off the field is never a glamorous place, more often than failures and injuries. Not long after entering the national team, Su Yiming was injured, and her mother wanted him to give up because of her heartache. Su Yiming's father, Su Qun's friend, once in Jilin in 2017, when they played together, Su Yiming accidentally fell and was injured while flying on the platform, and his calf was fractured. But when he saw them, his first words were: "How do I ski when I'm injured?" ”
For Su Yiming, injuries are commonplace, but he has never given up. When practicing the hardest, Su Yiming can slip and break several snowboards a week. But he is a child who has loved to "compete" with himself since he was a child, "Sometimes the action is not done well, I am angry with myself, especially annoyed." Some people may adjust it and try again when they're in good shape, but I don't. Even if I don't eat, I have to make it ready and then go down the mountain. ”
It is the countless failures and losses that have led to today's wonderful and stable first two jumps. No one knows better than him that behind those few seconds of showmanship are countless days and nights of sweat and tears, but also the repeated correction and practice of the same action. The teenager, who is regarded as a "genius", once said in an interview: "For me to pursue new difficulties, more difficult moves, fear is there... Because an action is not just a few seconds, or a few attempts, if you want to try an action, it actually takes a long time. ”
Therefore, if we really want to dismantle the gold medal of Su Yiming today, it will be the repeated trials of this teenager who has not yet reached the age of 18 on the air cushion thousands of times, and the actual battle on the snow jumps and rolls again and again. As Su Qun said in an interview, "I don't think talent plays a big role, what is important is that Yiming has an innate passion for skiing." ”
It is with the innate passion for skiing and unremitting efforts that has created today's "genius teenager" Su Yiming.
Before Su Yiming's competition, his friend Gu Ailing had just won the silver medal, "The game is really fun, all the time, I have been enjoying." "Whether it's Gu Ailing or Su Yiming, the younger generation of Chinese Olympians enjoy the process in addition to their achievements.
Teenagers can look forward to it, let's continue to witness it together!
