Yabuli, a winter sports hub in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, just kicked off its snowboard test event for the 2025 Harbin Asian Winter Games! The adrenaline-packed big air competition doubled as China's National Championship, giving athletes a chance to showcase gravity-defying skills on a massive 214-meter-long course.
Men's champ Yang Jinghan stole the show with a jaw-dropping 1800 spin, scoring 95.66 points—nearly perfect! Meanwhile, Zhang Yuting edged out rival Gan Jiajia by just 2.34 points in the women's final. Talk about a nail-biter!
With the Games officially starting February 7, 2025, events like this prove Yabuli's ready to bring the heat (or should we say, frost?) to Asia's biggest winter sports stage. Who else is hyped?
