Hey there, snowboarding fans! 🏂 Guess what? Yang Wenlong from China just won a bronze medal at the Snowboard and Freestyle Skiing Big Air World Cup in Beijing! 🎉
The event took place at Shougang Park, the same place where the 2022 Winter Olympics were held. Yang impressed everyone when he nailed a super cool trick called the backside 1800 in his second run, scoring 81.25 points! 😮 That’s a lot of spins!
Japan’s Hiroto Ogiwara took the gold medal with a total of 169.50 points. Ian Matteoli from Italy got the silver after landing the first-ever frontside 2160 at a World Cup event! Can you imagine spinning around six times in the air? 🤯
Yang was super happy about his performance. He said, “I feel really happy, but I’m also focused. This bronze medal is my first at a world-class event, but I think it’s only the start. I’m going to keep practicing and get ready for the 2026 Milan Olympics.” 🥉
In the women’s competition, Mia Brookes from Britain won the gold medal! 🥇 Mari Fukada from Japan got silver, and Anna Gasser from Austria took home the bronze. Great job, ladies! 👏
Isn’t it exciting to see these amazing athletes flying through the air? Maybe one day you’ll be out there doing awesome tricks too! Keep dreaming big! 🌟
