JAKARTA, Aug. 21 -- China's new star gymnast Chen Yile won the country's 12th straight title in the women's all-around event at the Asian Games here on Tuesday.

Chen, 16, the all-around winner in 2017 national championship, reached her professional high in her Asiad debut with stunning routines of both high difficulty and execution scores. She ranked first in both balanced beam and floor exercise among all four rotations, pocketing the gold with 55.950 points in total and sailing into finals of the two apparatuses.

Her teammate Luo Huan, 18, won the silver medal with 54.550 points, underlining China's dominance in the sport. Luo also qualifies for the uneven bars final by finishing second among 43 athletes.

Kim Su Jong from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) earned 53.600 points to win the bronze medal.

It's not all easy for Chen, the youngest of the Chinese squad, to reach the top of the podium on Tuesday night besides challenges from strong DPRK rivals. A little drama came when she was up for floor exercise routine during the second rotation, but only found wrong music played. She was kept on stage waiting for some five minutes before the right music was on.

"Things happened. You can't change it, so you have to adapt yourself for it," Chen said at the mixed zone when asked if the interlude disrupted her rhythm.

Wearing a big smile on the top of the podium though, Chen was surprisingly quiet and uptight outside of arena, obviously feeling uncomfortable with camera flash lights and microphones.
