China’s new sprint star, 17, vows ‘no limits’ after Asian Games gold
Chen Yujie stormed to victory in a Games-record 11.06sec in Nagoya, showcasing her potential after dominating the women's 100m final.
China's 17-year-old sprinter Chen Yujie declared herself "no limits" after clinching the Asian Games women's 100m gold. In an emphatic victory, she sprinted to victory in a Games-record 11.06 seconds in Nagoya, showcasing her potential. The teenager, who turns 18 in December, called Friday's win "the best present for my birthday."
Chen, who now aims to defend her title at future international events, including the world championships and Olympics, expressed her ambition. "Now that I have become a champion, my goal will be to defend my title in the future," she stated. Chen laid out her vision, saying, "I have no limits." Chinese media hailed her as a "new sprint star" after China's never-before-achieved 100m or 200m Olympic gold.
Despite her victory, Chen admitted to being nervous before the final, recalling how her legs shook during the race. She beat two-time Olympian Shanti Pereira of Singapore by 0.15 seconds in the 100m and also won the 200m at the 2025 Asian Athletics Championships.
