Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games was a party for people around the world. Young athletes (运动员) came out and made a name for themselves. Chinese snowboarder Su Yiming is the youngest Chinese athlete and the first Chinese snowboarder to win a gold medal at the Winter Games.
Born in Jilin Province. He spent all day playing outside in snow. He liked standing on his father's snowboard best. When he turned four, Su received his first snowboard and started to learn snowboarding. Despite (尽管) being even shorter than the snowboard, Su managed to slide down on his own quickly. And ever since then, Su has not taken the snow board off his feet, no matter winter or summer, day or night. Gradually, Su started taking part in competing against adults and traveling all over the world to train in a better environment.
It was a difficult decision for this young man to make, but Su finally chose snowboarding over becoming a movie star, because he wanted to become a professional athlete and compete in the Olympics.
"I successfully realized the dream that I've had since I was a kid. I've always dreamed about winning this gold medal before 18 years old. I made it," he said. "I also want everyone to know that I can not only be good at one thing, but I can be the best at anything I like. Today I proved (证明) it"
Su's experience is an inspiration to us. Hard work matters a lot.
