China’s snowboarding star Su Yiming made history today, clinching bronze in the men’s big air final at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics—and securing his nation’s first medal of the Games! 🌟 The 21-year-old defending champion faced nail-biting pressure but delivered a performance that had fans cheering worldwide.
Su kicked off with a jaw-dropping 1980-degree spin (that’s five and a half rotations mid-air! 😱), scoring 88.25 points. But a shaky second run dropped him to fifth place. With medal hopes on the line, he stuck the landing in his final attempt, soaring back to third with a total of 168.50 points. Talk about a comeback! 💪
Japan’s Kira Kimura took gold (179.50), while teammate Ryoma Kimata secured silver (171.50). But all eyes were on Su, who now completes his Olympic medal collection after winning gold and silver in 2022. 🥇🥈➡️🥉
“Standing here with the national flag… it’s my proudest moment,” said Su, grinning post-event. His resilience under pressure? *Chef’s kiss* 👌. With this win, he’s not just a snowboarding icon—he’s a master of the mental game.
