Sky's the limit for China's kitefoil champion

Approximately a decade ago, Chen Jingyue, then a 12-year-old born and raised on Pingtan island in Southeast China's Fujian province, took her first steps onto a kiteboard.

Little did she know she was embarking on a journey that would see her become one of the country's most formidable kiteboarders and kitefoilers.

On Sept 27, Chen clinched gold in the women's kite (IKA Formula category) at Ningbo Xiangshan Sailing Centre at the ongoing Asian Games.
