Liu Jiayu snatched the silver medal in the women's snowboard halfpipe, the first medal for China at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games on Tuesday.

Liu, the 2017 Sapporo Asian Winter Games champion, earned 89.75 points in her second run of three to take the silver.

"Today is just amazing day to me and then also I think it's the honor presented by China to win first silver medal in the Olympics. It's just... oh my God. And then all my three runs, I just feel like I enjoy it and then I just do it," said Liu.

The 25-year old Liu, who is competing in her third Olympics, is the first Chinese snowboard Olympic medalist and only the second Asian woman to win a snowboard medal at Olympics, after Japanese Tomoka Takeuchi won silver in the women's parallel giant slalom at Sochi 2014.

Winning the silver just makes me even cooler," said Liu.

The 25 years old snowboarder from Hegang City of northeast China's Heilongjiang Province also believes that South Korea might bring her luck when it comes to winning medals.

"South Korea is so lucky for me and I've been here and I got a podium every time. I won the first world championships in South Korea for China and now it's another, you know, Olympics medal," she said.

She added that her goal is to increase the popularity of snowboarding in China and hopes that her becoming an Olympic medalist will help increase awareness in the sport.

"I think you can improve like, like a push of life for our country the snowboard, just scrub even more. We already have a huge people doing the sport and then everybody thinks snowboard is super cool and the fashion and other stuff, so that's my goal.
