  "account": "NAGOYA, September 26 - 17-year-old Chinese sprinter Chen Yujie has set her sights on a new era in Chinese athletics after winning the women's 100m final at the Asian Games in a Games-record time of 11.06 seconds. Chen declared she has \"no limits\" following her dominant victory, which also showcased her potential to challenge other athletes on the international stage, including at the world championships and the Olympics. Chen, who will turn 18 in December, expressed her excitement over her \"best present for my birthday\" and emphasized her ambition to defend her title in future competitions. Chinese media hailed Chen as a \"new sprint star,\" hoping her victory marks the beginning of a new era for Chinese sprinting, as China has never won Olympic gold in either the 100m or 200m events. Chen admitted she experienced nerves before the final, shaking her legs on the training track, but managed to beat two-time Olympian Shanti Pereira of Singapore by 0.15 seconds to claim the gold.",
