Chinese athlete Sun Sibei soared to victory at the BMX Freestyle World Cup in Montpellier, France, securing the women's park gold medal with a dominant 93.10-point performance on Saturday. The 20-year-old phenom outperformed Japan's Miharu Ozawa and six-time world champion Hannah Roberts of the United States, becoming the only finalist to break the 90-point barrier.
Sun's triumph marks her first career victory over Roberts, a veteran widely regarded as the sport's most decorated rider. Her flawless execution of technical tricks and aerial maneuvers captivated judges and spectators alike, signaling a potential shift in the global BMX hierarchy.
Reigning Olympic champion Deng Yawen, Sun's teammate from the Chinese mainland, finished fourth in the competition. The result highlights China's growing strength in extreme sports ahead of major international events.
