Chinese snowboarder Su Yiming just rewrote the rulebook of extreme sports, landing the world's first back-to-back 1980s in a jaw-dropping display of skill. The Olympic champion pulled off the gravity-defying feat—captured in a viral social media clip—by nailing two consecutive 1980 spins (5.5 rotations!) with opposite stance grabs. Talk about style meets substance! 🚀
First, a flawless backside 1980 with a melon grab. Then, without missing a beat, he flipped his stance for another 1980 with a tail grab. This combo isn't just rare—it's never been done before, cementing Su as snowboarding's ultimate innovator. 🤯
The 20-year-old phenom, who already stunned fans with a 2160 spin earlier this year, is now laser-focused on the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics. Remember his Beijing 2022 gold and silver? Consider this his warm-up act. 🌟
Su's Instagram caption says it all: "Happy to complete the world's first back-to-back 1980." Happy? The rest of us are just trying to process the physics! 🔥
