No gold, no problem — China's star snowboarder Su Yiming is embracing his near-miss from a back-to-back gold in big air at Milano-Cortina 2026 as a reboot for his career, eyeing more breakthroughs in slopestyle.
Despite landing lower than he'd expected in the big air final at the 2026 Winter Olympics on Saturday, Su walked off the podium as proud as he could be, taking pride from not just staying among the world elites in the gravity-defying tough sport four years after his home win at Beijing 2022, but also growing more resilient and mature in the face of enormous pressure.
