2004 年2 月18 日，蘇翊鳴出生于吉林省吉林市，4 歲時被父親帶到雪場滑雪，后來慢慢喜歡上了滑雪。8 歲那年，他信誓旦旦地說，只想把滑雪當(dāng)成一種愛好，如果當(dāng)成專業(yè)，他會厭倦每天的練習(xí)，再也不想聽到“滑雪”這兩個字。那時的他興趣廣泛、生活多彩，還是一名小童星，踏上過演藝之路。

2014 年，10 歲的蘇翊鳴就出演了徐克導(dǎo)演的電影《智取威虎山》。此外，他還出演過《林海雪原》《生逢燦爛的日子》《搖滾小子》《狼殿下》等影視作品。

2015 年7 月31 日，蘇翊鳴迎來人生的轉(zhuǎn)折。2022 年冬奧會舉辦權(quán)花落北京，他毅然選擇把滑雪作為自己的“主項”，從此走上職業(yè)滑雪之路。2018 年，14 歲的蘇翊鳴入選國家隊。2021 年10 月，蘇翊鳴在奧地利訓(xùn)練時成功完成內(nèi)轉(zhuǎn)1980度抓板超高難度動作，成為完成該動作的世界第一人，并獲得吉尼斯世界紀錄認證；同年12 月，他便在單板滑雪大跳臺世界杯美國斯廷博特站上奪冠，創(chuàng)造了中國選手在該項目上的新歷史。2022 年，他在北京冬奧會上繼坡面障礙技巧奪銀后又獲得第二枚獎牌。這也是中國代表團本屆冬奧會的第六枚金牌，創(chuàng)造歷史最佳。

“在北京冬奧會單板滑雪大跳臺比賽中，已在本屆冬奧會中奪得一枚銀牌，即將年滿18 周歲的小將蘇翊鳴決賽前兩輪以完美的發(fā)揮奠定勝局，以182.5 的高分再奪一枚金牌，成為我國歷史上最年輕的冬奧會冠軍。祝賀蘇翊鳴！這是他獻給自己最好的成人禮！是送給全國人民元宵佳節(jié)最好的禮物！”（體育總局冬運中心賀信）

賽后，蘇翊鳴回應(yīng)道：“1980 的動作我一直在準備，今天早上訓(xùn)練時我也做了很多次。如果今天我的成績在第三跳出發(fā)之前不夠取得一個冠軍的分數(shù)，我肯定會去嘗試。但是在真正的冠軍已經(jīng)到來的時候，我只是想享受比賽。”

奧運金牌將鼓勵他尋求更多突破，甚至超越他的運動生涯。“我喜歡單板滑雪，就像我喜歡表演一樣，”周五就滿18 歲的蘇翊鳴說，“我認為我在未來的職業(yè)生涯中仍有很多可能性需要探索，無論是單板滑雪還是表演。但現(xiàn)在我只想享受這一刻，把它作為最好的生日禮物來慶祝。”

蘇翊鳴認為對這項運動的“熱愛”是制勝的法寶。“單板滑雪不僅僅是競爭，最重要的是愛。在這里你可以看到，每一位來自不同國家的選手，我們都有一個共同點——我們熱愛滑雪。這都是出于我們的愛。”
