Born on February 2001, Ren is the youngest medal winner at the Rio Games so far at the age of 15 years and 180 days.

Ren, China's first medal winner born after January 1 2000, is the second youngest champion of the 10-meter platform after Fu Mingxia, who won gold at Barcelona in 1992.

Fu was just 13 years and 346 days when she triumphed.

'I did pretty well, but not really so perfect, according to my expectations -- you can consider me a perfectionist,' Ren told reporters.

'I'm young, but I got the medal. I think from now on I'll train harder, I'll work harder so I can focus on my future.'
