Su Yiming named as China’s flagbearer for 2026 Winter Olympics closing ceremony

Chinese snowboard star Su Yiming has been chosen as China’s flagbearer for the closing ceremony of the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Games after a standout performance in which he secured the country’s first medal and gold of the Games, winning bronze in big air before claiming slopestyle gold on his 22nd birthday. With two golds, one silver, and one bronze across his first two Olympic appearances—including a gold and silver at Beijing 2022—Su has rapidly established himself as one of China’s most accomplished winter athletes. The Games will conclude Sunday with the closing ceremony at Verona Arena following the end of all competitions.
