Chinese skateboarder Cui Chenxi, 14, stunned crowds at the 2024 Paris Olympics with a groundbreaking fourth-place finish in the women’s street final—the best result ever for China in Olympic skateboarding since its debut in Tokyo 2021!
Scoring 241.56 points, Cui narrowly missed the podium but left her mark against top contenders like Japan’s gold medalist Coco Yoshizawa (272.75) and Brazil’s Rayssa Leal (253.37). 'I tried a risky trick—it didn’t land, but fourth place is still a win for us,' said Cui, who praised the electric atmosphere and support from fellow athletes like Leal.
Japan’s Yoshizawa, also 14, clinched victory with a high-stakes fourth attempt: 'I felt relief, not joy, when I nailed it.'
Why it matters: Cui’s performance signals China’s rising influence in youth-dominated sports—and proves age is just a number in skateboarding’s thrilling new era.
