On April 9, local time, the annual top ski event "The Nines" came to an end in Crans Montana, Switzerland, and many new records were born at the event, among which, Japan's 16-year-old snowboarder Ogiwara Daisei unlocked the Backside 2160 action for the first time, bringing snowboarding into the "six-week era".
Forbes Sports reported that 16-year-old Japanese teenager Ogiwara Daisei became the world's first snowboarder to unlock 2160
This historic moment came on April 6, when Ogiwara's original plan was to try 1800, an action he had never been able to do before. However, beyond Ogiwara's expectations, he quickly made 1800, so he began to consider whether to give himself a hard time, "When I made 1800, I thought my jump was perfect, I considered that I still had some time, so I thought, maybe I can choose to try 2160." 」 After five attempts, Ogiwara finally completed the backside 2160 Indy tailbone, a move that had never been completed before, and the 16-year-old brought snowboarding into the "six-week era".
After successfully writing history, Ogiwara Couldn't believe that this was true, "In the last attempt, I felt particularly good at the air, and the moment I landed, I was a little shocked, I wasn't sure if I really completed this action, and then, I watched the video, I was very excited, it turned out that I really turned six times in the air." ”
In addition to creating history and winning the best skill of this year's "Nine Horsemen" men's snowboarding, Ogiwara Ishimoto is likely to create another world first, not only completed the 2160-degree turn, but also seems to have completed the first "five-week deflection rotation" (quintuple cork) in the history of snowboarding, but the "Nine Horsemen" officially did not give a conclusion, but let the skaters and ski enthusiasts judge for themselves whether Ogiwara Daisei completed the five-week deflection body or four weeks.
Before Ogihara Daisei, 20-year-old Japanese female player Iwaso Reiko successfully made the world's first women's snowboard Frontside triple 1260, and the 25-year-old Canadian actress Blauin became the world's second female snowboarder to complete the Cab triple 1260. (The first to do this was Austrian star Anna Gasser.)
The reason why the "Nine Knights" record is frequent is also closely related to the characteristics of its event. Fourteen years ago, German skier Niko Zachek created this freestyle skiing event that pushes the boundaries of tradition, where competitors bring out their best ideas and actions in the world's top ski parks. Inspired by the organizers of the event, the contestants performed freely and did as they pleased, leaving one classic moment after another, and making the "Nine Horsemen" a super event of the ski world.

Last year, Gu Ailing, a Chinese player, was invited to participate in the "Nine Horsemen", but she was eventually absent due to injury. In this year's "Nine Horsemen" competition, Gu Ailing and Su Yiming, the two Winter Olympic champions, have paid attention to it, and they have also praised and congratulated the players who have created history. Meanwhile, a new round of competition between ski geniuses is already brewing...
On October 28 last year, Su Yiming, who was preparing for the Beijing Winter Olympics at the Stubai Ski Park in Austria, successfully unlocked the Bs 1980 Indy Crail (Inner Turn 1980 Gripper) super difficult move in training, becoming the first male athlete to complete the 1980 degree grip on snowboarding. After turning 5 and a half laps in the air, it landed smoothly, and 1980 also became Su Yiming's "invisible move".
On December 5 last year, Gu Ailing played well at the 2021-2022 Freestyle Skiing World Cup in the United States, not only won the big jump championship with a total score of 184.25 points, but also successfully unlocked the positive skating for two weeks and the deflection rotation 1440 degrees, becoming the first female player in the world to complete this action.
After the story is well known, Gu Ailing and Su Yiming shined at the Beijing Winter Olympics, Gu Ailing won two gold and one silver, of which she let go of the last jump of the freestyle ski jump, using the never-before-tried positive slide deflection 1620 plus safety grab board to win the championship, which is still talked about by people.
Su Yiming was also a blockbuster, he won a gold and a silver, although he did not sacrifice the "big move" of 1980, he successfully completed the difficult action of 1800 in the competition many times, allowing people to see the 18-year-old teenager's love for snowboarding and his superior strength.
Not long ago, Gu Ailing and Su Yiming both participated in the beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games commendation meetings, and they once again became the focus of everyone's attention. After receiving the commendation, Gu Ailing and Su Yiming quickly returned to their "daily life", Gu Ailing was once again photographed running a half horse in the streets of Beijing in the early morning, Su Yiming said that there is no shortcut to success, only through hard practice can reach the other side of success. For Gu Ailing and Su Yiming, gold medals and victories are never the end, and they are not afraid of any challenges. The new records of Ogihara Daisei and Iwaso Regal will inspire them to keep going, as Su Yiming said, "The spirit of innovation and constant self-challenge contained in skiing is fascinating, and when you unlock new actions, you always feel a sense of fear, but finding a solution in fear and ultimately succeeding is incomparable." ”
