Cui Chenxi took gold ahead of compatriot Zeng Wenhui, 18, with Japan’s 16-year-old Miyu Ito taking bronze.
China’s Cui Chenxi competes during the skateboarding women’s street final at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou.
With an eye-catching performance featuring several ‘Ollies’ and a huge move off a high rail, which several of her competitors avoided, Cui took gold ahead of compatriot Zeng Wenhui, 18, with Japanese 16-year-old Miyu Ito taking bronze.Cui, who hails from China’s eastern Shandong province, only took up skateboarding in 2020 when China’s Covid restrictions meant she could not practice rollerblading, which she began as a three-year-old.
In bright, warm and humid conditions, which felt even hotter because of the skate park’s concrete jungle nature, scores of dragonflies shared air time with the competitors as they performed their tricks. Margielyn Didal, who won gold for the Philippines at the 2018 Asian Games, is still only 24 yet she seemed like a veteran with all her competitors in the final 18 or under.
