Huang Hsien Yung of Chinese Taipei, just 17 years old, kicked off the Asiad taekwondo tournament by beating Dana Touran of Jordan in the women's 46kg final.

She described her first ever international title as an intro through which "the world starts to know me".

An even younger diver, Hu Yadan, 14, began China's clean sweep of diving golds by winning the women's 10m platform title.

The 1.45 meters tall surprised the world with her dexterity when she won a diving Grand Prix event in Madrid last year and looks to be a strong contender at the 2012 London Olympics.

Also there was Hong Kong rider Wong Wan Yiu, who was injured in a crash but held on to the end for a women's cycling silver.

The journey of Iraq's sole shuttler Yara Azad is another story. The 24-year-old only played 26 minutes on Guangzhou court without a coach behind him, but his sportsmanship has moved many people and may be remembered for good.
