TORONTO (Reuters) - Laura Zeng was crowned the Pan American Games 'Golden Girl' and a future rhythmic gymnastics star on Monday as the 15-year-old American completed a sweep of individual events to bring her gold medal haul to five.

Even without the presence of the sport's super powers Russia and Belarus, the American teenager marked herself as a potential future Olympic champion, taking gold in the all-around and all four individual apparatus finals, ball, club, ribbon and hoop with style and authority.
