Su Yiming captured gold in the men's snowboard slopestyle final at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics on Wednesday, delivering the first gold medal for China at the Games.

Su seized the lead in the opening run with 82.41 points, a mark that ultimately proved decisive. The victory, secured on his 22nd birthday, made his Olympic triumph all the more memorable.

Japan's Taiga Hasegawa finished second with 82.13, while Jake Canter of the United States took bronze with 79.36.

Four years ago in Beijing, Su finished second in slopestyle before claiming gold in big air. In Milan, he had already taken a bronze medal in big air on February 7 before returning to the top of the podium in slopestyle.
