Taiwanese skater Liu Chiao-hsi claimed Taiwan’s second gold medal at the World Games in Chengdu, China, finishing first in the women’s inline freestyle slalom finals yesterday.
The 21-year-old Liu, who showed great potential in the sport from a young age and represented the national team while still in junior-high school, demonstrated her dominance in the women’s inline freestyle slalom in Chengdu.
After Liu finished first overall in the preliminary round earlier this week, she defeated compatriot Chen Pei-yi and Iran’s Salek Esfahani Romina in best-of-three knockout rounds earlier yesterday to successfully advance to the gold medal showdown.
In the final, the Taiwanese continued her strong performance, besting Chinese skater Zhu Siyi 2-0 to grab gold.
It was Liu’s first appearance at the World Games, following her gold medal in the inline freestyle skating speed slalom at the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, when she was 19.
Her victory yesterday also marked the second gold medal for Taiwan, after the women’s team finished first in the 500kg outdoor tug-of-war on Sunday last week.
