  At the Winter Olympics on the doorstep, under the attention of the whole world, he completed his coming-of-age ceremony with a gold medal that made history. For Su Yiming, who turned 18 on the 18th, everything seemed to be the best arrangement.

  Before the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, he was a little-known snowboarder who was transformed from a child star. When the Beijing Winter Olympics approached, his identity changed. As the Chinese delegation's winter snowboard event Su Yiming, the first gold medalist in the history of the Olympic Games and the first men's medalist, accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from Xinhua News Agency.

  Talking about the Winter Olympics - "The greatest feeling is love"

  When Su Yiming appeared in the video interview, almost two days had passed since he won the championship on the big platform.

  "In the past 48 hours, I tried my best to recall all the experiences and feelings brought to me by the competition day or the Winter Olympics... Although it seemed that it was only about three or four hours that day." Su Yiming said, "I I spend a lot of time emptying myself, thinking about the good memories of the past 4 years, including the day I won the gold medal or the first lesson my dad took me to ski when I was a kid.”

  The first two slides were amazing, and the opponents were unable to come back. Before the last slide, Su Yiming had already secured the gold medal in advance.

Just when many thought he would challenge himself to the 1980 action certified by Guinness World Records in a stress-free slide, he slid down briskly and ended the entire snowboard event Beijing Winter with a simple and free-standing aerial freeze. The last skate of the Olympics.

  Later, I saw on the TV screen that after learning that he had won the championship in the departure area of ​​the big jumping platform, Su Yiming couldn't hold back his tears, sobbing "I did it" while throwing himself into the coach's arms.

  "I have fantasized about this moment for a long time, and I have given all my efforts. The challenges and difficulties I have faced in the past four years are really too many." Su Yiming recalled, "At this time, I also want to try some more difficult movements, but really When I was on the starting block, I just wanted to do my third ride with my favorite way, with my favorite motion. I really only had one thought at the time, I was going to enjoy this ride, I was going to enjoy it The most precious and beautiful moments of my life."

  Also in the broadcast screen, Su Yiming's parents appeared in the stands, but they could not get close contact inside and outside the closed loop. Su Yiming shared this moment with his parents on the phone.

  "I knew they were there, but I couldn't see them or get in close contact with them, so I quickly called them." Su Yiming said, "My parents have brought me snowboarding since I was very young. , no matter what decision I make, they choose to unreservedly support me and believe in me, without their support, I would not be where I am today."

  Today's Su Yiming has a silver medal in snowboarding slope obstacle skills and a gold medal in big jumping at the Beijing Winter Olympics. Of course, he also owns two limited-edition "Bingdundun". In the connection, he deliberately moved the camera to the bed, Two "Bingdundun" and two medals lay there quietly.

  "Now I'm still on my bed, I've really slept with my gold medals, and I put them on the bed every day. My gold medals...my 'Bingdundun'..." His There is an irresistible love in the tone, "This is really very meaningful to my life, I really like it, and I will definitely give it to my most important person."

  This gold medal is equally important to the Chinese delegation. This is the first Winter Olympic gold medal for Chinese snowboarding. After he won the gold medal, the Chinese delegation refreshed the number of gold medals won in a single Winter Olympics and The two records for the number of medals have created the best record in history since participating in the Winter Olympics.

  This boy, who is still a little immature and has a milky voice, may not have expected all this before the game.

Although he has been reluctant to get off the snowboard since he was 4 years old, it was not until the Winter Olympics came to Beijing that he gradually tried to touch a dream that was once out of reach.

What happened after that, step by step, emerged in the competition, the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China formed a cross-border and cross-sport training team, was selected, accompanied the team to foreign training and foreign competitions, and qualified for the Beijing Winter Olympics at the World Cup... personal hard work and The process of the times is synchronized with the grand event that has driven 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports.

  "I think for me, there is nothing better than this Winter Olympics. I have really accomplished all the goals I wanted to accomplish." He said, "I also gained something special in the Beijing Winter Olympics. I feel the strength of the motherland. Without the motherland, I would not be where I am today. I am very proud and proud that I am a Chinese. When I put on the national flag and stood on the podium, the national anthem was played. In an instant, I really feel very, very happy. As a Chinese, I can exert my strength to the best of my ability and win glory for my motherland."

  "Actually, the biggest thing I felt this time was love. My own love for snowboarding, and everyone's love for me, I deeply felt. If I left this love, it wouldn't make me who I am today. . So this gold medal is not just me, but also the result of the joint efforts of everyone," he said.

  Talking about veneer - "My original intention will not change"

  Although he has won the World Cup single stage and the season championship before, Su Yiming admitted that the feeling of participating in the Winter Olympics is unparalleled.

  "Although I tried very hard to tell myself that it was no different from the usual competitions, standing on the podium and listening to the national anthem really made me feel that the Winter Olympics are so different and so charming. ."

  Su Yiming said that in the World Cup, everyone still has reservations. After all, everyone wants to stay healthy before the Winter Olympics, but at the Winter Olympics everyone will try their best and most difficult moves.

He participates in two events, so there are two qualifying rounds and finals, "but each qualifying round is for me to compare it as a final."

He said that the day before the Winter Olympics, he was sitting in his room, and the competition that he had been dreaming about every day for the past four years was about to start, and "the pressure was very high."

  But the original intention of snowboarding finally resolved this tension.

  "I love snowboarding. No matter what competition I am in, I always do what I like the most, and my original intention has not changed." Su Yiming said, "So I have been telling myself that I just need to be myself. What I need to do or love to do, I just need to complete the movements I want to do in this competition, and this is the most important."

  In his opinion, doing what he wants to do is more important than any factor other than sliding. When it comes to the controversy related to scoring in the slope obstacle skill competition, his attitude is still open-minded.

  "I didn't pay attention to any of these things at all, I put all my energy into my own game. It can be said that I am really very satisfied, very happy, and can complete a set of moves of my own dreams in the competition. "He said, "All the best athletes in the world come to the Winter Olympics. In my heart, we are not divided. Everyone is a champion in my heart."

  He also mentioned the nobleman and well-known coach Yasuhiro Sato on his veneer road.

  "The earth-shaking change is that he changed my life and changed my deeper understanding of snowboarding. I was very lucky to know him when I first decided to become a professional skateboarder. "He said, "The 15th is the most precious day for me and him, and it is also the day to fulfill each other's dreams."

  The slope and obstacle course of this competition was made into a unique "Snow Great Wall". After seeing the pictures of the venue, what Su Yiming and Coach Sato did the most every day was to hold their mobile phones and look at the pictures to show the movements of the props area. Think of more than one plan ahead of time.

At the watchtower of the "Snow Great Wall", Su Yiming flipped down the tower many times, which became one of his signature moves at this Winter Olympics.

  "One of the biggest charms of snowboarding for me is the different styles it can have. Slopes are a completely stylized event because there are so many different jumps and props...everyone has their own Unique approach, no one is right and no one is wrong."

  "I have always had my own ideas and my own understanding of movements. I hope I will continue to pass them on. I also hope that more people can see different movements or styles." He said, "When I was young, I was still a kid who was following in the footsteps of my idols. But when I actually got some results in the competition, I thought it was time to do better for the kids who were younger and younger than me who liked snowboarding A role model. Because I know how important an idol is to me, I am doing my best now to set a better goal and example, and can give these young children more inspiration to snowboard Use your best energy.”

  The first time he entered the Winter Olympics, he won one gold and one silver, which did not slow him down.

  "No matter what the results are, the biggest motivation for me is never forgetting the original intention, because I love snowboarding, and everything comes from love." He said, "I do what I do now because of love. All the things I like to do, so no matter what grades I get, my original intention will not change.”

  Talking about the future - "There are many different goals"

  Although the motivation is not diminished, the achievements of one gold and one silver are enough to make him feel at ease to give himself a vacation for a while in the future.

  "In the past few months, I was really tired both mentally and physically, and I was indeed a little tired," he said, "so I will take a good rest for a while, then adjust and go to the next level. A stage in the pursuit of a goal.”

  The goals for the next stage are not limited to snowboarding.

  "I actually have a lot of different plans and goals. Whether it's in school, film and television, snowboarding or more in life, I have a lot of new goals." Su Yiming said, "I am a person who likes to keep going. A person who challenges and tries new things, so no matter what goals I have in the future, I will continue to give my all to accomplish it as I am now.”

  After years of training and competitions, Su Yiming has been able to communicate in at least three languages, Chinese, English and Japanese, which is obviously an advantage in future studies.

For the former child star, film and television is like a reunion of old friends.

  As the Winter Olympics progressed, clips of Su Yiming appearing in film and television works when he was a child began to be widely circulated on the Internet.

If it is said that the "black history" of "post-00s" is high-definition, then Su Yiming's is not only high-definition, but also has subtitles, and even bilingual subtitles. Of course, the spread of "black history" itself is also a favorite expression.

  "These are some of my most precious childhood memories, and it also allows everyone to see more of me. I'm also very happy to let everyone help me recall these beautiful moments." Su Yiming said, "I have been seen one after another these few days. Videos or some photos from my childhood, I am also very happy to see these wonderful memories."

  Among these memories, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is Su Yiming's most impressive work.

"Because that was the moment when my dream started on the road of film and television, when I was eight or nine years old, I had a chance to participate in this film, so that there will be more opportunities in the future. A big change, or a very special and beautiful moment."

  To the question of "Will you go back to try the film and television industry again?", his answer was as crisp as landing in a game.

  "Certainly, whether it is in film, snowboarding or other roads, I will try some different challenges, and I will try my best to present a more comprehensive and different version of myself to everyone."

  The calendar turned to the 18th, and "Little Shuan" ushered in his coming-of-age ceremony.

On this 18th birthday during the Beijing Winter Olympics, it was a gathering of people at the right time and place.

With his achievements, he fulfilled his wish to "use the medal as his birthday gift", and with a feeling of harvest and satisfaction, he began to officially embrace his life after the age of 18.

  "Not only did I have the best birthday present, but I really felt the love everyone had for me, so I'm really content right now. Hopefully I can keep getting better and better with love and snowboarding, and then I also hope that I can continue to work hard to add luster to China's ice and snow and my motherland. I also hope that when I face different goals in the future, I will continue to work hard to achieve these goals." He said, "It's like completing the present. The goal is the same this time."
