Chinese snowboarder Su Yiming has cemented his legacy as a winter sports icon after securing two medals at the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics. The 22-year-old claimed bronze in the men's big air final on February 7 before delivering a golden birthday performance in the slopestyle event on February 18, marking China's first gold of the Games.
In an exclusive interview with CGTN Sports Scene's Greg Laffradi, Su emphasized the relentless dedication behind his success. "Every fall on the slope taught me to fly higher," said the athlete, whose technical mastery and creative trick combinations captivated judges and fans alike.
Su's achievements highlight China's growing prominence in winter sports, coming exactly four years after his breakthrough performance at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. Analysts note his latest victories could inspire a new generation of athletes as China continues expanding its winter sports infrastructure ahead of future competitions.
