Olimpiadi

With days to go before the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Games open, 17-year-old Chinese sprinter Chen Yujie has embraced the Olympic spirit as a torchbearer. Last November, she ran 200 meters in the torch relay near Patras, Greece—her slowest such distance yet, but one focused on sharing a message rather than speed. At last year's National Games in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, she won gold in both the women's 100m and 200m, becoming the youngest athlete in the event's 66-year history to claim both sprint titles.
