Chi Kuanyao, an athlete from Huzhou, East China's Zhejiang province, recently won the gold medal in the men's 52-kilogram category at the 2022 National Youth Wushu & Sanda Championship.

This is the only gold medal won by the Zhejiang delegation, which is composed of 13 athletes, including nine from Huzhou, at the competition. The delegation also won a silver medal.

Winning the gold medal also meant that Chi obtained the national first-class athlete qualification.
