LIVIGNO, Italy, Feb. 5 (Xinhua) -- Defending champion Su Yiming of China recovered from an early setback to progress to the snowboard men's big air final at the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics here on Thursday.
Su only notched 22.00 points on his opening jump, but came back strongly in the later runs. He landed a backside 1800 nose grab for 87.75 points on his second attempt and followed it with a switch backside 1980 melon grab for 85.00, which proved enough to secure a place in the final.
