A week following the slopestyle event, Su won the gold medal in the Big Air event with a score of 182.50 by completing a front-side 1800 and a back-side triple-cork 1800 in his first and second runs respectively, and edging out Mons Røisland who won silver while Max Parrot grabbed the bronze medal.

[13] In doing so, 17-year-old Su became the first Chinese to win a gold medal in this event and celebrated his 18th birthday four days later.
