Chengdu: Taiwanese skater Liu Chiao-hsi claimed Taiwan's second gold medal at the 2025 World Games in Chengdu, China, by finishing first in the women's inline freestyle slalom finals on Saturday.

According to Focus Taiwan, the 21-year-old Liu, who showed potential in the sport from a young age and represented the national team while still in junior high, displayed her dominance in the women's inline freestyle slalom in Chengdu. Liu finished first overall in the preliminary round earlier this week and went on to defeat compatriot Chen Pei-yi and Iran's Salek Esfahani Romina in best-of-three knockout rounds earlier Saturday, advancing to the gold medal showdown.

In the finals, Liu continued her strong performance, besting Chinese skater Zhu Siyi 2-0 to secure gold. This was Liu's first appearance at the World Games, following her gold medal in the inline freestyle skating speed slalom at the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, when she was 19. Her victory also marked the second gold medal for Taiwan, after the women's team finished first in the 500 kilogram outdoor tug-of-war.
