LIVIGNO, Italy — Su Yiming of China won the gold medal in men’s slopestyle snowboarding at the Winter Olympics on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Su collected his fourth career medal and his second of these Games on his 22nd birthday.<\/p>\n

Taiga Hasegawa of Japan took silver, and American rider Jake Canter claimed the bronze.<\/p>\n

Su’s first of three runs that earned him 82.41 points proved enough after no rival was able to better that score. It was China’s first gold and seventh overall medal of the Milan Cortina Games.<\/p>\n

Su, a former child actor, won gold in big air and silver in slopestyle at the 2022 Beijing Games. Last week, he took bronze in big air.<\/p>\n
