KUALA LUMPUR: Parliament proceedings on Tuesday have been adjourned by Deputy Speaker Alice Lau following a lengthy shouting match by MPs across the divide.

China’s youngest Olympian is heading to Paris with a relaxed mindset, hoping to fulfil the dream many twice her age have of winning a medal.

The youngster specialises in bowl skateboarding, which involves a hollowed-out area with a series of intricate curves.Her repertoire of tricks includes jumps, flips and lateral spins, combined in various sequences.Her talent quickly became evident and, in 2020, at the National Games of China, she finished 13th out of more than 60 participants.Once, during training, she fractured her right middle finger but did not allow that to hinder her progress.

During an interview with mainland media, she assessed her pros and cons, acknowledging that her advantage compared to other competitors lies in having more compact techniques. Later, at a competition in Budapest, her score improved by more than 20 points compared to that which she achieved in Shanghai.
