13岁华裔少女路畅作为中国运动健儿的奥运小天使，被美国国家电视台NBC万里挑一而选中拍摄奥运专题宣传片；中国中央电视四台《华人世界》也连续对小路畅进行了报道。12月30日，小路畅被《明桥体育》、《美中信使报》和《休斯顿华人年鉴》联名授予美南地区首届“美中之星”奖，受到全球中文媒体的广泛报道。

在休斯敦华媒评选的华社十大体育新闻中，姚明和易建联聚首NBA仅列第二，排第一名的就是小路畅。

小路畅在个人简历中介绍，她生于1994年8月13日，最近在电影《love and mary》中参演了一个角色，是片中一场博览会的场景中的学生之一。这个多才多艺的小姑娘会跳芭蕾、爵士、Hip-Hop、中国传统舞蹈，会滑冰、游泳、乒乓球、排球、滑雪。小路畅自己最喜欢的是唱歌和学中国工夫，她喜欢绘画，还会弹吉他，而且她还是个幽默的家伙。和她一起工作过的大人们常常被她逗得前仰后合。

现在只有13岁的小路畅很有爱心，她的“致命弱点”是喜欢小动物，尤其是小狗，只要被她看到，不抱一下是不肯离开的。

以下是她自己的一段英文自我介绍：

Hi!! I’m Yvonne Lu. I won 1st place best smile and most photogenic, 2nd place runner up in Sugar Land, TX in the Miss Sunburst Beauty Pageant in 2005. I’m really well atacting and dancing. I have been dancing ever since I was 3, which includes ballet, jazz, hip-hop, tap, and Chinese. So practically I has no clue what stage fright is! I’ve been taking private guitar lessons with a way cool guitar teacher for 2 years now. I’ve also learned kung fu since I was 6 years old so I’m really good at that too! I love biking, roller-skating, swimming especially, and any sport at all. You name it! I’m in my school choir and pep squad and still can manage to be an A B honor student. What I do for fun is just kicking back with my girlfriends at the mall. Most defiantly spending time with my pets. I have a rabbit and 2 goldfish. I’m an outgoing girl who’s not afraid of anything. I’m willing to take a risk, even if that means going on every single Roller coaster ride at the amusement park! Did I mention that I love animals, especially dogs. I would go bonkers if I could own a dog! So that’s practically everything there is to know about me!
