Su was leading the 2025–26 FIS Snowboard World Cup standings in men's slopestyle during the 2025–26 season prior to the Olympics. The reigning 2025 World champion was Liam Brearley.

In the final, Su Yiming took the lead with his opening run with a score of 82.41, a mark that held up through three runs to secure the gold medal on his 22nd birthday, giving China its first gold of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. Taiga Hasegawa of Japan finished second with 82.13, while Jake Canter of the United States claimed bronze with 79.36; both earned their first Olympic medals. For Canter, this achievement came nine years after a medically-induced coma.
