Su Yiming said: "I don't think there is any controversy, we all came to the Olympic Games for the same kind of love, all because of the snowboarding we love. I know Parrot works very hard and he's also a player I respect very much. ”
In the slope obstacle course final on the 7th, Su Yiming won the silver with 88.70 points in the second slide. Parrott's highest score of 90.96, which won the gold medal, also came from the second slide. The judges' judgment and scoring of Parot's second-time jumping action caused controversy among snowboarders. Subsequently, Su Yiming coach Yasuhiro Sato said through an open letter that he and Su Yiming understood the difficulty of real-time scoring, thanked all referees, and implored the public to end the criticism.
Su Yiming said that in that slope obstacle race, everyone did the best, he was very happy to get the silver medal, and it was the most important thing to be able to complete his own set of actions.
"Everyone knows that he [Parot] had cancer not long ago and is now able to recover and return to the field. He's one of the players who inspires me a lot. Su Yiming said.
"Of course it's very happy to get results, but the most important thing for me is to focus on what I need to do. I reached my goal without any regrets. I would also like to congratulate him on winning the gold medal in the slopes and then today (the big jumping competition) also achieved a particularly good result, we are very happy with each other. ”
