Although the 2023 Asian Games winner, WST Tokyo was the first taste of global contest experience beyond the quarter-final stage for the Chinese 14-year-old. She had a better semi than final where her consistency in practice deserted her on the frontside feeble grinds and backside lipslides which she had on lock all during warm-ups. That left her chasing the pack in Best Trick, which she posted only her last attempt during. Nonetheless, the experience at that level will be invaluable in demonstrating to herself that she can make it that far. Chenxi leapt a long way up the OWSR leaderboard courtesy of a Tokyo 2023 World Championship result 22 positions higher than in the 2022 World Championship in Sharjah.
