Shougang Ski Big Air is also known as "Snow Flying". At the beginning of 2022, at this venue, 18-year-old Su Yiming jumped into the air and used a gold medal in the Beijing Winter Olympics to present his entry into the world.
This time he returned to the blessed land, and he soared into the sky.
During the acclimatization training, Su Yiming and coach Yasuhiro Sato took a group photo in the big air starting area, "We are back!".”
Before the Beijing Winter Olympics completed the winning jump, at the top of the more than 50-meter-high auxiliary slide of the "Snow Flying Sky", Su Yiming hugged Yasuhiro Sato and set off resolutely.

After the Beijing Winter Olympics, Su Yiming has not participated in official FIS events, and he is precipitating himself. From the 2023 World X Games to the x games China Ski Tour Finals to the training on weekdays, he has long been familiar with movements such as turning his foot inward in 1980.
In the past year, Su Yiming also has an additional identity, a 2023 undergraduate freshman at Tsinghua University.
When the news of being escorted to Tsinghua University was announced, Su Yiming posted a message with emotion that the three wishes he had made about the 18-year-old had finally come true: to qualify for the Beijing Winter Olympics, to stand on the highest podium to let the national anthem play, and to get the ideal university admission letter.

For Su Yiming, this is just the first official FIS event he has competed in since the Beijing Winter Olympics. When asked about the movements shown in the final, Su Yiming's words were full of excitement, and he bluntly said that he has been trying to turn 1800 with his backfoot and is eager to seek a breakthrough, "The day before the competition, I only successfully completed this movement in training. ”
After a long absence, Su Yiming's love for snowboarding has never changed. In his opinion, there is no such thing as a limit to snowboarding, and athletes can push themselves to show their characteristics as much as possible.
