In Paris Olympics, players are surprising the world with their amazing performances. More than 10 thousand athletes from 206 Olympic committees and countries have arrived to participate in this great sports event. Among many great Olympians, China's youngest Olympian Zheng Haohao is going to stake a claim for a medal in skateboarding. She has reached the Olympics at an age when most children are busy with school studies. If she becomes the Olympic champion, she will become the youngest athlete in the world to do so and with this the 84-year-old Olympic record will also be broken.

Second youngest Olympian

China's youngest Olympian Zheng Haohao was born in 2012 to a Korean family and started skateboarding at the age of 7. She earned an Olympic ticket after performing exceptionally well in her country. 11-year-old Zheng is the youngest athlete at the Paris Olympics. However, she could not make the record of becoming the youngest Olympian. This record is in the name of Dimitrios Loundras. The Greek gymnast had made this record in the first Olympics held in 1896. He participated in the Athens Olympics at the age of only 10 years and 218 days.

Can break 86 year old record

Zheng Haohao has already made a record by participating in the Paris Olympics. Now she is eyeing another record. In fact, the record of becoming the youngest champion in the Olympics is in the name of Denmark's Inge Sorensen. She won the gold medal in the 200 meter breaststroke event of swimming at the age of only 12 years and 24 days. Inge did this feat 86 years ago in the 1938 Berlin Olympics. If Zheng wins the gold medal, then the record of the youngest Olympic champion will be in her name. The biggest thing is that she will have the opportunity to achieve this feat on her birthday itself. Zheng's birthday is on August 11.

Born a day before the London Olympics ended

Another surprising thing about Zheng Haohao is that he was born just a day before the closing ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics. The closing ceremony took place on August 12, just a day before that he was born and today he is a part of the Paris Olympics. Not only this, he also started skateboarding on his 7th birthday, when his parents gifted him a skateboard. After this, he also won a championship at the junior level in China.
