Adapting to weather conditions, wind speed and direction, Li made key adjustments to her tricks. "My style is clean and distinct," she noted.

Li's journey to the top hasn't been without challenges. Ahead of the 2024 National Winter Games, she fractured her collarbone for the third time but still managed to secure silver in the women's freeski halfpipe open category.

"I was afraid of getting injured again, and my mindset wasn't great," she recalled. "But over the summer and fall, I gradually adjusted my mentality. Injuries aren't that scary - improving my skill level is the key to consistency."
