Congratulations CUI CHENXI for becoming China’s youngest gold medalist in history.⁠
⁠
On Wednesday, Cui competed in the Asian Games’ women’s street skateboarding competition where she outperformed her 18-year-old teammate Zeng Wenhui and earned praise for her landing off a difficult high rail. Cui reportedly employed a conservative strategy on her first run to secure some points and then pushed for a higher score on her second run, which proved successful even though she missed her last three tricks.⁠
⁠
Zeng secured silver, while Japan’s Miyu Ito, 16, took home the bronze medal.⁠
⁠
Women’s skateboarding has seen a trend of younger athletes dominating the sport. Cui’s victory was celebrated on Chinese social media, with users commending her youth and composure. ⁠
⁠
The 13-year-old started roller skating at the age of 3 before eventually taking up skateboarding three years ago due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Following her win, Cui has set her sights on the Paris Olympics, aiming to make an impact on the international stage.⁠
⁠
In the women’s park event, Japan’s Hinano Kusaki, 15, clinched gold, while Chinese skaters Li Yujuan, 20, and Mao Jiasi, 15, secured silver and bronze, respectively. ⁠
⁠
In the men’s street finals, Chinese skater Zhang Jie also won gold, while his teammate Su Jianjun took bronze to once again prove China’s dominance in the Asian Games. ⁠
