Canadian Mark McMorris, also Su's idol, finished with 88.53 in his best score to grab the bronze. He managed to complete his classic triple cork 1620 in the third run to replace American Redmond Gerard on the ranking table.
"I would like to thank my motherland, my parents and my friends. The medal belongs to everyone who supported me," said Su. "I am really excited to stand on the podium with my idol. I do not know how to express that feeling because I never had it before."
In terms of his astonishing 1800, Su said he just devoted himself to the competition. "My biggest goal is to carry out my best performance. Even in the second run, I did not feel relaxed because I know I can do better," he noted.
