HARBIN, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- South Korea's Lee Chae-eun scored 90.00 points in his third run to claim gold in the men's snowboard slopestyle final at the Harbin Asian Winter Games on Saturday.
China's Liu Haoyu took silver with 76.00 points, while Lee's compatriot Kang Dong-hun got a bronze by 74.00 points.
Saturday's strong winds interrupted the competition multiple times. Lee remained in the lead throughout, scoring 81.25 points in his first run before sealing the gold in his final attempt.
Liu, after struggling in his first two runs, delivered a steady performance under pressure in his last run to take second place.
"I think the best way to face challenges is to not overthink and take things one run at a time," Lee said.
"The wind was strong today, and due to the weather, I couldn't complete some of my high-difficulty tricks... But I adjusted well in the final run, and I'm happy with the result," said Liu. ■
