Chinese snowboarding star Su Yiming claims second Crystal Globe trophy of the season
In slopestyle and big air at four World Cups and two Winter Olympics events, the 22-year-old won three golds, one silver, and two bronzes
Su Yiming secured his second Crystal Globe trophy of the season on Saturday, concluding a dominant 2025-26 campaign that saw him reach the podium in every international event he entered in slopestyle and big air.
Following the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS)’s decision to cancel Sunday’s men’s slopestyle event at the Park & Pipe World Cup Finals, the Chinese snowboarding star finished top of the standings with 140 points.
Persistent bad weather in Silvaplana, Switzerland, and scheduling constraints forced the cancellation of both the qualifying and final rounds.
Earlier in the season, Su competed at slopestyle World Cup events in Aspen, USA and Laax, Switzerland, where he won a silver and bronze respectively. He did not compete at the World Cup event in Flachau, Austria.
In the final slopestyle standings, just one point back of Su in second place was American Judd Henkes on 139 points, followed by 17-year-old Japanese rookie Yuto Kimura, competing in his first World Cup season, with 135 points.
On social media, Su shared a video of the severe winds at the Swiss venue, captioning it: “Well At Least I Tried.”
