China’s post-2000s Olympians shine at Beijing 2022

As of Tuesday, the Chinese delegation has won three gold and two silver medals at the Winter Olympics, among which athletes
 born after 2000 have contributed one gold and two silvers.
For the first time in an Olympic men's snowboard slopestyle competition, a triple cork 1800 was successfully landed on Monday, 
by 17-year-old Chinese boarder Su Yiming. Su took a silver medal on his Olympic debut, also the first Olympic snowboard medal 
for China.
"As a snowboard lover, I do not care much about the score. Instead, I pay more attention to making more brilliant tricks. The 
happiness comes from that," said Su.
Gu Ailing, who pulled off a 1620 performance on Tuesday, won the women's freeski big air gold, becoming the first female Chinese
 athlete to be crowned in a snow sport at a Winter Olympics
Before her final run on Tuesday, the 18-year-old sat in third place. While Gu could play safe and secure a podium spot, she decided
 to whip out the trick she had never done before.
"I am not competing to beat other riders, not to ride better than others, but I want to ride 100 percent of my best."
Taking a silver from the event was a surprise for Li Wenlong,who is a debutant in short track speed skating.
" The silver is just a beginning. I'm going to keep going and hope to change the color of the medal to gold one day," Li added.
In fact, even before the Games started, two post-2000s athletes had already taken center stage, as cross-country skier Dinigeer 
Yilamujiang and Nordic combined athlete Zhao Jiawen lit the cauldron at the opening ceremony.
"That moment will encourage me every day for the rest of my life," Dinigeer said.
