Friday, August 2, 2024

In the passionate and challenging Olympic arena, Chinese post-00 girl Deng Yawen fearlessly displayed her outstanding courage and remarkable skills, successfully clinching the gold in freestyle scooter, scripting a brilliant chapter for Chinese sports.

Deng Yawen, the young talent hailing from Luzhou, Sichuan, China, born on October 17, 2005, has been immersed in sports since childhood. In 2013, she joined the Luzhou City Amateur Sports School track and field team, where her exceptional physical qualities and love for sports led to her transfer to the Sichuan Water Sports School in December 2017, commencing her professional training journey in freestyle scooters.

Deng Yawen's path to growth was not without hurdles. The strenuous training and the burden of injuries were obstacles on her road to progress, yet with unwavering perseverance and steadfast belief, she gradually overcame these challenges. Emerging on the domestic stage, she started to shine. In the women's BMX freestyle scooter competition of the 2019 Youth Games on July 16, she seized the championship with a score of 44.2 points, displaying her potential. Following this, in the final of the women's freestyle scooter park event at the 14th National Games on September 19, 2021, she achieved an excellent result, securing the second place. The year 2023 was particularly fruitful for Deng Yawen, as she excelled in numerous domestic and international events, including the 2023 UCI Freestyle Scooter Park World Cup in China's Bazhong (also the 2024 Paris Olympics qualification event), where she broke records with a score of 93.84 points, claiming the championship!

However, it was on July 31, 2024, during the Paris Olympics women's freestyle scooter park final, that her name truly shone worldwide. In the preliminaries, Deng Yawen displayed exceptional form, advancing to the finals with a second-place finish.

During the final, at the vibrant Concord Square, the competition was intense. The first contestant from the Chinese team, Sun Jiaqi, showcased high difficulty and completion rates in her movements. However, a mistake occurred during a challenging somersault, resulting in disappointment. Subsequently, Deng Yawen took the stage, standing strong under pressure, her gaze firm, executing smooth and skilled movements. Successfully completing several high-difficulty actions, including a three-spin aerial handlebars, she astounded with a top score of 92.50 points in the first round, putting her in the lead.

In the crucial second round, no other competitor could surpass Deng Yawen's initial score. With increased confidence, she further raised the difficulty of her movements, executing them seamlessly and impressively with a score of 92.60 points. Ultimately, with an absolute advantage of the highest score of 92.60 points in both rounds, she triumphantly clinched the gold! This victory not only brought her personal glory but also marked a historic breakthrough for the Chinese freestyle scooter team, earning China its eighth gold medal at this Olympics!

Deng Yawen's success was not mere chance; while her talent played a crucial role, her diligent training was indispensable. She always gave her all in training, continually pushing her limits to perfect each movement. Moreover, she possessed exceptional mental fortitude, maintaining composure and focusing on her performance in the face of pressure and challenges.

Behind Deng Yawen stood a robust team offering support and assistance. The coach's meticulous guidance and the encouragement and companionship of her teammates served as her driving force.

The significance of this gold medal transcends mere accolades.
