After 00 Style, Su Yiming is very Su Yiming

introduction

At the scene of the winter Olympics snowboarding men's slope obstacle course competition, when Su Yiming crossed the obstacles, his unique performance method of "front flip" props with great personality was impressive.

"For me, the most attractive and special thing about snowboarding is that everyone has a different style, so I have been pursuing a unique style myself." Su Yiming said.

When the very casual, very free and stylized snowboarding sport met the post-00 athletes who pursued a unique sports style, they collided with "very Su Yiming" Su Yiming——

At the press conference on the day that Su Yiming won the silver medal, the blessing he sent to Gu Ailing, who was going to participate in the final the next day, was not to win the gold medal, but to "hope she has fun!" ”

After the qualifying round and the final, he talked about everything other than the medal in the mixed area: "I especially enjoy the game!" That's the only thing I'm going to do..."

"Have fun" and "enjoy the game" are Su Yiming's on-field mentality, and it is also a fresh impression brought to people by many post-00 athletes in this Winter Olympics. They not only support the breakthrough of "zero", but also bear the traffic of the Winter Olympics.

After 00 Su Yiming, do you know his style?

Teenage old with mischievous children

Every time I interview Su Yiming, I can find a feeling of "youth and old age" from him, surpassing my peers in terms of speech and understanding of personnel affairs, where does his rather independent and mature atmosphere come from?

The answer to this question may be inextricably linked to the world of skiing, where he has been exposed to adults at a very young age.

Su Yiming's parents are ski enthusiasts, in the unique natural conditions of Jilin Province, Su Yiming's father began to contact double boards in the 90s of the last century, and her mother was also a good player in playing double boards before marriage. When snowboarding was just beginning to become popular in China, the couple tried the sport again, and the two often discussed how to skate into new moves.

When he was 4 years old, Su Yiming was taken to the snow field, the fixture on the mother's ski is for adults, there are no children, the little Su Yiming stepped on the mother's skateboard together on the "snow surf", in the high-speed sliding, Su Yiming did not fall down.

At that time, there were no such small children skiing on the snow field, and there was no suitable snowboard on the market, so only a snowboard could be customized. But this snowboard, Su Yiming skied until the 3rd year to match his height, and when it was met, this snowboard also "retired"; other ski equipment was not suitable for young children. There was no ski suit, he could only wear a down jacket to ski, there was no toddler buttocks, and his mother found the smallest size of the adult and put it on him. Generally, ski buttocks are worn inside snow pants, but adult hip guards are too big for Su Yiming, and can only be worn outside the down jacket...

"I may not remember the 4-year-old, but I have the impression that I especially like to play in the snow outside. When I was older, every time I took a holiday, I basically went out skiing very early every day, and I skied until the snow field closed at night before I went home. ”

At the age of 7, Burton, the world's largest ski brand, found Su Yiming from the video materials of the players recommended by the club and signed the little boy to become the company's sponsor skater. At this time, Su Yiming began to contact the props and the platform, "I just knew that the veneer can still be played like this, first try slowly, and then play more and more, watch the video to learn by yourself." Su Yiming said.

At that time, from the beginning of the competition, he has been competing and competing with adult ski masters, and Su Yiming grew up in a environment where there were few of his peers, and he played with adults. At a very young age, he was exposed to the world's top snowboarders and even legends such as Sean White and Mark McMorris, and his growth was accompanied by inspiration, and he started with a broader vision.

His "youth" was taught to him by snowboarding. In the relatively single social circle, most of them are friends on the snow field, and the people who call each other by these friends are mostly 6-10 years older than him.

Outside the adult world, there is also the appearance of a "mischievous child".

"From the initial contact with everyone to become familiar, Xiaoming's impression of me has undergone a subversive change!" Bai Yang, the physical rehabilitation coach who accompanied the Chinese delegation to the Winter Olympics and Su Yiming, said that in the eight months before the start of the Winter Olympic Games, he accompanied Su Yiming from summer to winter, from domestic air cushion training to foreign snow training and competitions.

Bai Yang and Su Yiming first met on a particularly formal and official occasion, when everyone did not know each other, and this child with a very mature psychological age gave him the impression of "speaking rigorously, respecting and polite to everyone".

In the most tense days of preparing for the Winter Olympics, Bai Yang and Su Yiming ate, lived and traveled together every day, and everyone began to become familiar and friends. In informal occasions, Su Yiming occasionally shows the appearance of a playful child - hiding things is Su Yiming's longest use of "small pranks" techniques.

"He'd hide something from Coach Sato and make him struggle to find it." He will also hide my things, and everyone will look for this today and that tomorrow. I don't know where the fun of hiding things is, anyway, he will be found in the end, but this kind of little prank that is not too much, he especially likes to play. Bai Yang said that 17-year-old Su Yiming is actually a child.

In the gap between training abroad, he would run to Bai Yang's room very early to play with him, go to the supermarket to buy ingredients and come back to cook hot pot, talk about his favorite movie "Let the Bullets Fly", listen to his favorite hip-hop music... This is the other side of Su Yiming, a "young and old adult", a side that really fits his age.

Snowboard collector and "hat control"

There is a basement in Su Yiming's home, which is used by him as his own ski equipment warehouse, which is full of ski boards, shoes, helmets, snow socks, gloves and various accessories, and the first thing Su Yiming does when she comes home every time is to come to her warehouse to sort out her "treasures". To him, these were his comrades-in-arms.

He turned one wall of the warehouse into a snowboard exclusive area, and other ski equipment would also be sorted and placed in different areas. In the snowboard area, he collected dozens of snowboards, such as his first snowboard in his life, the more commemorative snowboard that helped him win the award, and a variety of snowboards with different functions: there are snowboards, parks, platforms, props...

With Su Yiming's rapid advancement and the accumulation of competition experience, I believe that his snowboard "baby" will also increase rapidly.

Skiers collect snowboards, which is expected, but Su Yiming also has a unique collection hobby - hat control!

As long as you pay attention, it is not difficult to find that the hat has become the most frequent decoration for Su Yiming, in addition to the helmet for the competition, almost where Su Yiming goes, the hat is where it is. Wearing hats on the podium, hats at the press conference, hats in training, hats in interviews, even when receiving a Guinness World Records certification group photo before, do not forget to wear a high pompom hat.

In Su Yiming's home, there are many hats, hundreds of hats are definitely there, and there are many styles: duck tongue hats, fisherman hats, line hats... He would match different hats according to the different styles of snowsuits and snow goggles he wore every day, and he matched all his ski gear with a corresponding hat. Every time he went to a place to train or compete, inside his oversized suitcase, half of the suitcase was basically hats, various styles, different colors.

Why does Su Yiming like hats so much?

"I think it could be a veneer culture. People who play veneer have their own style, and everyone likes hats. When skiing, it also plays a warming role. Su Yiming's mother said that Su Yiming's coach also likes to wear hats all year round, and has known the coach for so many years, and when he sees him without a hat, it is only once or twice.

The Secret of an Emotional Manager

In the competition, the athlete's pre-game stress reduction, racetime anti-stress, and post-game stress relief are a psychological war that every athlete will experience, and the athletes in the high-pressure state have their own way of emotional management, they are their own emotional managers.

"For every athlete, no one can be nervous before the game, even if you go to reduce the pressure, it will still be nervous, so since I can't change it, I will enjoy the process." In the Spring Festival of 2020, Su Yiming, who had just injured her knee after a game in Italy, said this to the Shanxi Evening News reporter at the end of the phone while doing rehabilitation treatment in South Korea.

Three months ago, in a series of "World Cup" matches and also the points race of the Winter Olympics, Su Yiming tried to fail in the first stop, and in this big jumping competition in Kur, Switzerland, Su Yiming, the last to appear, failed to enter the final.

"At first, he was a little frustrated because he had a lot of expectations and a big gap." Bai Yang, who personally experienced this game, said that Su Yiming would never talk to others about pressure, he would stay in his heart to digest it himself, and his emotions were quickly adjusted. "The day after the race we set off for the next leg, and he was like no one else."

In the second race, Su Yiming gained the attention of his "blockbuster", he won the championship at the Big Jumping Station in the United States, and became the first world champion of the Chinese snowboard big jump event with a total result. In a short period of time, Su Yiming, who has experienced "big ups and downs", personally summed up as follows: "I didn't even watch other people's scores and videos, I only thought about myself, my eyes looked at the departure platform, to think about my own movements in the air." ”

Su Yiming, who can digest pressure and emotions alone, also has a moment of complete release in front of everyone.

Before the World Cup, Su Yiming went to a steakhouse with his coach and Bai Yang to eat, and Coach Sato joked with the steakhouse owner that one of them was going to participate in the World Cup and might win the championship. On the night of the victory, the three men took the trophy to the steakhouse, and the owner was very happy, he said to Su Yiming, "Congratulations, I know you can do it!" That night, everyone in the store celebrated the young champion together, and Su Yiming quickly integrated into this spontaneous party, releasing all the pressure outside the arena.

But the next day, when the domestic media was still in the high heat of the network screen, Su Yiming went to training early in the morning, saw the coach, everyone no longer a day in advance of the results, but only discussed the next training and competition.

"Father and son" master and apprentice

Su Yiming, who had just won the silver medal, hung the medal on the neck of coach Yasuhiro Sato in the lounge, the coach hugged Su Yiming without speaking, 23 seconds of silent embrace, both of them cried...

Every time you grow, only the person who accompanies you looks in the eyes, Su Yiming and the coach, accompany and witness each other.

Whether it's a World Cup match, or a Winter Olympic match, whether it's a qualifying tournament, or a final. There is always a person who appears at the starting point of the arena with Su Yiming, and this is Su Yiming's coach Sato. In the circle, everyone calls Yasuhiro Sato "Mr. YAS", a legendary Japanese player who has coached many well-known athletes including Ken Otsuka and Masa Onizuka. After the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, he was invited to coach the Chinese team as the head coach of the snowboard jumping and slope obstacle course teams. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, Yasuhiro Sato was selected for the Chinese sports delegation as the head coach of the snowboard jumping and slope obstacle course team.

Su Yiming used one word to describe his relationship with the coach - with a sharp heart! "I've known Coach Sato since I decided to be a professional and I'm especially grateful to him for being able to teach me later that I made that, training or playing, we don't need to have much communication because we know each other."

In the eyes of coach Yasuhiro Sato, Su Yiming is a "genius player + acquired hard worker", "he constantly focuses on daily training, is not willing to accept the status quo, and has a higher pursuit in his heart." ”

Coach Yasuhiro Sato and Su Yiming have an age difference of 29 years, "When training is very serious, they will both be fully focused. Bai Yang said that before or after training, the pair will have some communication with the master and apprentice, such as which player makes what action. Privately, Su Yiming will make a little joke with the coach, "In life, they get along more like 'father and son', the coach is very concerned about Xiaoming, and all aspects are 'supported' for him, which is a very protective kind." ”

The biggest hobby of this master and apprentice is skiing, and there is no end to how to talk about this topic. For example, when Coach Sato was young, in order to ski, he skied five or six snowmobiles, and rented a helicopter to go snow skating... These stories are deeply touched by people who love skiing.

Backstage of the press conference, after coach Sato's hearty laughter, the first sentence he said to reporters was Chinese "I love Xiaoming!" Very! In his view, it is precisely because of Su Yiming's enthusiasm and talent for skiing that he has achieved such a high level of achievement, he is not limited to the small goals in front of him, but has a long-term plan for 10 or 20 years.
