Gu Ailing, Su Yiming show musical talents at China Ice and Snow Night Gala

Su Yiming, disguised as a guitar player, played the Chinese song "Chengdu" to his Japanese coach Yasuhiro Sato through an online video chat.

"I wanted to surprise him in a different way. He loved this song very much," said Su, who clinched a silver in slopestyle and gold in Big Air at Beijing 2022. The 18-year-old said Sato had had a "life-changing" influence on him.

"He changed my understanding of snowboarding in a much deeper way. I was very lucky to know him as soon as I decided to go professional," Su said.
