17-year-old Su Yiming has become the first-ever Chinese snowboarder to stand on the podium in either big air or slopestyle. He's also the first rider ever to land 1800s two ways in the FIS competitions. CGTN's Cen Ziyuan speaks to Su and his coach on their preparation for the upcoming Winter Olympics in Beijing.

17-year-old Su Yiming put down a backside 1800 Indy grab and a frontside 1800 tail grab in his first two runs. That was enough for Su to secure the first World Cup title of his career.

SU YIMING Chinese Snowboarder "First of all, I am very happy about it, but it is a challenge for me. They are going in two directions. These moves are still very hard to be completed in games. I did well on Backside 1980 Indy Crail, but I still must use my hand when landing in Frontside Crail. I Still have some flaws that I need to work on."

Su says he's excited about his performance, but has a lot of work to do before the upcoming games in Canada and the Winter Olympics.

SU YIMING Chinese Snowboarder "For now, I am tackling challenges and boosting my level. Regular practice is just part of it. It's hard to showcase one hundred percent of real performance in games with factors like facilities and stress. From now on, I am trying to learn from each game. No matter if I win or lose, the accumulation of experiences will give me a different feeling and I can get better by practicing."

Coach Sato says Su is a hardworking, smart, and humble as an athlete.

MOTOHIRO SATO Coach "I don't want to sum up Su in one sentence, but he is definitely a talented athlete. He works hard tirelessly. To carry out his full potential, he is working hard on that every day."

Sato told CGTN the next step is to boost the score by perfecting the completion of each movement and stability during execution.

MOTOHIRO SATO Coach "He completed the Backside 1980 Indy Crail very well. Room to grow on the Frontside. He landed very stiffly on Frontside and the impact of that landing is very strong to his body. I am not satisfied with the overall scores on performance, so we will work on boosting the scores in the upcoming training. Most of the work is still of completion of each move."

Su says he will take time to relax before heading into another round of training and competition in Canada. CEN ZIYUAN, CGTN, BEIJING.
