Chinese snowboarder Su Yiming claimed a triumphant victory at the FIS Snowboard World Cup season opener in Zhangjiakou on November 30, 2025, securing the men's big air title with a dominant performance. The 21-year-old Olympic champion scored 174.50 points across two near-flawless runs at Genting Snow Park, outshining 19-year-old compatriot Ge Chunyu and Japan's Ryoma Kimata in challenging windy conditions.
Su demonstrated technical mastery with an inward 1980 tail-grab scoring 86.25 points in his first run – the only score above 80 in the opening round. He followed with a switch inward 1980 maneuver earning 88.25 points, cementing his lead before a celebratory final descent. The victory marks another milestone for China's winter sports development following the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
Organizers maintained strict safety protocols during the competition, with riders completing three runs and counting their two best scores from different angles. The event drew international attention as Zhangjiakou continues to solidify its position as Asia's premier winter sports hub.
