Why It Matters
The Asian Games is a continental multi-sport event featuring various age groups.
China’s 15-year-old Zhu Yuanling won gold in the women’s street skateboarding competition at the Asian Games on Sunday, the latest in a series of young winners at this edition of the continental multi-sport event.
Zhu’s win came a day after Japanese primary school student Yuki Kurihara, 11, demolished opponents three times his age on the way to a historic gold in esports.
Earlier in the Games, Chinese swimmer Yu Zidi, 13, became one of the faces of the event with three golds, all in record times.
And in another skateboarding final on Friday, Chinese Taipei’s 12-year-old Ku Yong-yan took home silver in the men’s park final.
