The reason why I’m doing all this training, and taking part in competitions and the Olympic Games is because of love.

Su, who was just 15 years old, failed for the finals. “I still remember three-and-a-half years ago at Shougang, the same place and the same jump, it was my first Big Air World Cup. That was a great contest for me as I had never taken part in a World Cup before,” Su said.“I missed the final by just one spot at that time at 11th place.
