Despite missing out on the gold medal, 17-year-old Su Yiming of China said he was over the moon to become the first Chinese male snowboarder to reach the Olympic podium, together with his childhood idols.

Pyeongchang Olympic silver medalist Max Parrot of Canada secured the victory with 90.96 points in the second run, where he contributed smooth performance in every section along the course and displayed a triple cork 1620 respectively in his fourth and sixth tricks.

Su scored the medal-winning 88.70 points in his second of three runs, by performing a triple cork 1800 in the last section, which is the first time for the trick to appear at a Winter Olympics.
