Teen aerialist upbeat despite final blunder

VANCOUVER, Canada: Although she finished only sixth at the Vancouver Games, young Chinese aerial skier Xu Mengtao had plenty to be proud of after performing jumps of the highest degree of difficulty in the world.

The 19-year-old led the finals after a perfect first jump but a stumble while landing the second cost her gold.

However, the experiences drawn from her first Winter Olympics have Xu dreaming of glory in four years' time.
