Guess what! 🏂 Wang Ziyang from China just made history at the X Games in Aspen, Colorado! He won the gold medal in the men’s snowboard knuckle huck event on his very first try! 🎉
Before his final run, Wang was in fourth place. He needed something amazing to jump to the top. And boy, did he deliver! He performed a triple front flip with nose and tail taps—a super tricky move—and landed it almost perfectly! 🤩 That incredible trick shot him straight to the top of the podium.
Wang isn’t just any snowboarder. He’s the first person ever to compete in both the X Games superpipe and knuckle huck events. And now, he’s the first snowboarder from the Chinese mainland to win the men’s knuckle huck at the X Games! How cool is that? 🥇
The silver medal went to Patrick Hofmann from Switzerland, and the bronze was claimed by Dusty Henricksen of the United States. Great job, everyone! 🥈🥉
But that’s not all for Team China! Wang’s teammate, Li Fanghui, also did an amazing job. She won her first X Games medal by grabbing silver in the women’s ski superpipe final with a score of 86.66 points. Way to go, Li! 👏
The gold medal in the women’s ski superpipe went to Cassie Sharpe from Canada, who scored 88.33 points. Another Canadian, Amy Fraser, took home the bronze with 84.66 points. Congratulations to all the amazing athletes! 🎿🏅
It’s super inspiring to see young athletes from all over the world achieving their dreams. Maybe one day, that’ll be you! Keep dreaming big and never give up! 💪✨
