The temporary Olympic slope built on scaffolding at the Livigno Snow Park peaks at over 40 meters, sending the riders soaring down a landing ramp that was lit by floodlights for the nighttime event.
"I'm really happy and proud of myself to earn this medal at my second Olympic Games," Su said after the final, cheered on by a vocal crowd of Chinese supporters, including his parents. "I had so much pressure going in as a defending champion."
