I brought this up on the TreX Games thread (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52038), but it really needs it's own thread. I've heard rumor that China took 11 of the 12 golds and that some Americans did go - still following up on that.
Bich takes world gold in (http://www.nhandan.com.vn/english/sport/250908/sport_ws.htm)
Wushu martial artist Nguyen Thi Bich grabbed Vietnam’s only gold in the women’s sanshou (combat) 48kg category at the World Sanshou Cup in China on September 21.
Bich, 20, who won the gold medal in the same weight category last year, was in a class of her own in China totally dominating the event.
Vietnam, which sent seven athletes to the tournament, won seven medals -one gold, four silvers and two bronzes.
In this years’ sanshou tourney, 100 artists from 30 teams competed in 18 weight categories for men and women.
At the World Sanshou Cup in China in 2006, Bich pocketed a bronze medal in the 52kg class. (VNA)
