13-year-old girl is China's youngest Asiad champ

Cui Chenxi became China's youngest ever Asian Games gold medalist on Wednesday after the spunky 13-year-old skateboarder won the women's street event at the Qiantang Roller Sports Centre in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province.

The street competition involves skaters performing daring tricks on a tough course that features rails and gaps. Cui, who hails from Jinan in East China's Shandong province, made an impressive landing off the notoriously difficult high rail — a move many of her competitors avoided.

The teenager, who is the Chinese national team's youngest athlete, clinched gold by scoring 242.62 points. Compatriot Zeng Wenhui, 18, claimed silver with 236.61 points, and Japanese skateboarder Ito Miyu, 16, took home the bronze with 221.59 points.
