    Indonesia takes third at world junior wushu championship

    Indonesia managed to win three silver medals and one bronze on the final day of competition, to finish in third place behind reigning champion China and Japan, at the World Junior Wushu Championships in Nusa Dua, Bali, on Saturday.

    Indonesian medals came in the taolu (form) events, in which Vietnam emerged with the most gold medals, winning three of the eight up for grabs on the day. Hong Kong secured two and South Korea, Iran and Malaysia each took one.

    Lindswell and Eric Losardi added to their medal collection with a silver and a bronze respectively. Lindswell, who had won gold in the tajiquan event, was just one onehundredth behind Korean gold medalist Kim Ok-jin, who scored 9.21 points against Indonesian's 9.20 in the women's 42 discipline taijijian.

    In the men's nando, Eric, the winner of nanquan event, failed to maintain form as and was outscored by Pham Quoc Khanh of Vietnam, who took gold, and Xu Kai Gul of Taiwan, who took silver.

    Kelvin Young was also one onehundredth shy of winner Lam Ka Kin, from Hong Kong, in the men's gunshu event, winning silver. Bronze went to Komatsu Motoshi of Japan.

    Indonesia's third silver came in the men's duilian event, which saw Charles Sutanto and Eric Losardi team up.

    In total, Indonesia collected six gold, eight silver and eight bronze, a big leap from the first championship held in Kuala Lumpur two years ago, when Indonesia returned home with only a single gold, silver and two bronzes.

    China proved its domination with a haul of 16 gold and two silver medals, while Japan will take home eight gold, five silver and five bronze medals.

    The Chinese, however, were not invincible. They failed to make two of the eight finals they were fighting for in the sanshou arena, in both instances going down to their Russian opponents.

    Six of Iran's competitors made the finals but only four managed victories, giving the team a total of five gold medals.

    "We had expected more, but winning five gold medals makes us happy," Abbas Varizi, an Iranian team official, said.

    Indonesia could only secure three silver medals. Despite the failure in the sanshou, the Indonesian team was generally beaming with the haul in taolu events, which, according to Supandi Kusuma, chairman of Wushu Indonesia (WI), surpassed expectations.

    "We had expected between three and four gold medals. We are satisfied with the athletes performance," he said.

    He urged the athletes to keep training for next year's challenge; Indonesia is preparing to take part in the Asian Junior Championship in the Phippines and the World Championship in Toronto, Canada.

    The second World Junior Wushu Championship featured 44 countries, 27 of which are returning home with medals.

    Viet Nam bags medals in World Junior Wushu championships

    (12-12-2008)

    HA NOI — Vietnamese wushu martial artists pocketed one gold, one silver and two bronze medals at the second World Junior Wushu Championships, which went ahead in Bali, Indonesia after eight teams withdrew from the competition.

    Pham Quoc Khanh successfully passed many strong rivals, including those from Hong Kong and China, to win his gold in the boy’s nangun (South cudgel) event with 9.50 points.

    His teammate Nguyen Trung Thanh later took a silver for Viet Nam in the boy’s taijiquan event with 9.42 points. The gold went to a Chinese artist.

    Vu Thuy Linh added one bronze to the pile in the girl’s nangun, with 9.41 points. Linh, who pocketed a nanquan (Southern fist) bronze medal at the World Wushu Championship in November in Beijing, finished third behind Indonesian Dessy Indri Astute, with 9.45 points, and 17-year-old Tai Cheau Xuen of Malaysia, who earned 9.42 points in a 15-exponent competition.

    Cao Khac Dat finished the day with the second bronze in the boy’s nandao (South broad-sword),with 9.31 points.

    Athletes waiting in the wings include Vu Tra My, who took a silver medal at the Beijing tournament, and Nguyen Ngoc Anh, who will compete in the girl’s qiangshu (demonstration with spear) event, and Nguyen Manh Khoa for the boy’s qiangshu. All are expected to bring home gold medals.

    In the sanshou (combat) tournaments, Vietnamese Tran Van Kien will face Enes Doruk of Turkey in the second round of the boy’s 48kg category after an easy win on Wednesday.

    Earlier, Le Van The knocked out Kumuppu of Syria in the boy’s 56kg to fight Huang Wenkun of Macau in the next round.

    Indonesia on Wednesday took a second gold medal when Lindswell won the girl’s 42-forms taijiquan event. The nation added to a bronze to its tally courtesy of Thalia Lovita in the women’s jianshu (sword-play) event.

    While Thalia was beaten by eventual gold medallist Mori Miki of Japan and silver medallist Phoon E. Yin of Malaysia, Lindswell dominated the 10 competitors in her field.

    The 17-year-old athlete from Medan, North Sumatra, executed her five-minute routine almost to the letter to earn 9.45 points out of 10. Hi Shixing of Macau and Kim Ok-jin of South Korea had to make do with second and third place with 9.17 and 9.06 points, respectively.

    "It surprised me a bit because I knew it was a contest with strong competitors," Lindswell said.

    Although Indonesia did reach the top of the medals table, the home team was delighted with their athletes’ performances.

    "These two golds are important to raise the fighting spirit among the kids," said Supandi Kusuma, chairman of Wushu Indonesia.

    The US team won a single gold in the girl’s daoshu (broadsword-play) thanks to Vanessa Loza and Russia, who arrived with 16 athletes, opened its bid by snatching two golds through Husnutdinov Ilias in the boy’s daoshu and Korolev Daniil in the boy’s jianshu.

    The Bali event will last through Sunday at the Westin Hotel NusaDua Bali, with 62 gold medals on offer in two disciplines – taolu (artistic performance) and sanshou.

    The taolu participants are split into three categories – A (from 16 to 18 years old), B (13 to 15) and C (7 to 13) – and will contest a total of 50 gold medals in the boy’s and girl’s division, while the sanshou boy’s and girl’s fighters will duke it out for 12 golds.

    A total of 700 athletes and officials from 44 countries are taking part in the tournament, which will run through tomorrow.

    Fifty-two of the 125 countries and regional members of the International Wushu Federation initially registered for the competition, but eight withdrew due to fears about security.

    In the inaugural event in Malaysia in 2006, China won most of the medals, taking home 16 golds and one silver, followed by Viet Nam. Indonesia won one gold and three silvers in that tournament. — VNS

    Like with the World Traditional Wushu Championships 2010 and the Pan American Wushu Championships, the Tiger Claw Foundation is the official team sponsor.

    It is bias to think that the art of war is just for killing people. It is not to kill people, it is to kill evil. It is a strategem to give life to many people by killing the evil of one person.

    Thailand has wushu, V.D.

    Thailand always fields teams in both taolu and sanshou for most all of the international wushu events. Malee Khow, who now sits as the Administrative VP for Internal for the USAWKF was the National Thailand Wushu champ from '85 to '89.

    KUCHING: Sarawak’s rising wushu star Elvic Bong Qian Zheng is all set to stamp his mark at the World Youth Wushu Championship in Singapore from today until Dec 8.

    He is excited and eager to get into action to win medals for Sarawak and the country at the four-day world junior meet.

    “I do feel very excited but nervous because this is the first time I am competing in an international competition,” he said when met during a recent training session at the Wushu, Lion and Dragon Dance Federation of Sarawak training centre in Tabuan Laru.

    The student from SJK Chung Hua No 4 was the only exponent from Sarawak selected to represent Malaysia and he will compete in the changquan and jianshu events in Category C for participants aged between seven and 12. He was named to the national squad based on his excellent performance at the Malaysian Schools Sports Council (MSSM) wushu championship in Negeri Sembilan from Oct 2-3 this year where he won two gold medals (qiangshu and jianshu) and a silver in changquan.

    Bong, who took up wushu last August, also achieved a similar result at the Sarawak Wushu Championship held at the Civic Centre here last December.

    “I am more confident of winning a medal in qiangshu and will be happy to win also in changquan,” said Bong.

    He had shown a big interest in wushu since young but was only able to take up the sport when wushu was introduced to his school last year.

    “My dream is to be able to compete for Malaysia at the Asian Games one day,” he said. His coach Ling Ung Hee speaks highly of the 11-year-old exponent and has great expectations for him.

    “In two to five years’ time, we are seeing a potential Sukma exponent in Bong. He has shown strong commitment and a high level of discipline in training and I am very confident he will excel in the sport,” she said.

    Ling said the selection of Bong to the national squad was a very encouraging development for Sarawak wushu as the state’s junior athletes are constantly being chosen to represent the country at world meets. Bong was one of the three Sarawakian exponents who attended a trial selection conducted by the National Sports Council at Bukit Jalil on Oct 30.

    Jacelyn Chia and national youth athlete Kimberly Goh were the other two who underwent the selection to get two boys and two girls from each category whereas category A (age 16-18) and B (age 13-15) were to select athletes from the national squad and C (age 7-12) was to select athletes from the MSSM wushu championship.

    3rd World Junior Wushu Championship closes in Singapore
    English.news.cn 2010-12-09 06:05:31

    SINGAPORE, Dec. 8 (Xinhua) -- The 3rd World Junior Wushu Championship closed in Singapore on Wednesday with the Chinese team holding the top position with 16 gold medals.

    A total of 417 male and female boxers from 46 countries and regions participate in the competition.

    Ang Mong Seng, president of the Singapore Wushu Dragon and Lion Dance Federation, said that although Wushu is the traditional Chinese competition, now besides Chinese people there are participants from Western countries, Africa and India. It means Wushu now is not only the traditional competition in China, but also the game for the world.

    The championship is divided into two patterns: Wushu routine and free combat. The Wushu routine events are graded into three groups according to the age. They participate in the events which include Chinese boxing, spear play, cudgel play and so on. The free combat events use a single-elimination system in both the male group and female group. The categories for male boxers are 48kg-80kg and for female ones are 48kg-60kg.

    China's National Junior Wushu Team consisting of 19 members won 11 and 5 gold medals in Wushu routine events and free combat events respectively. Host Singapore ranks No. 5 with 4 gold medals.
    I love it when the press calls wushu competitors 'boxers'. I suppose that works for the sanda people.

    Iran takes World Junior Wushu Championships crown for 1st time
    Tue Jul 17, 2018 07:15AM


    Iranian wushu practitioners pose for a group photograph at the conclusion of the seventh edition of the World Junior Wushu Championships in Brasilia, Brazil, on July 16, 2018.

    Young Iranian wushu practitioners have displayed impressive physical and mental skills at the seventh edition of the World Junior Wushu Championships in Brazil, and won the title for the first time in both Taolu (form) and Sanda (sparring) disciplines of the prestigious tournament.

    Iranian athletes were crowned as the champion of the international sports event, having clinched eleven gold, eight silver and seven bronze medals.

    They were followed by contestants from Hong Kong in the second place, who collected ten gold, four silver and eight bronze medals.

    American wushu practitioners claimed the third place, having pocketed eight gold, four silver and three bronze medals.

    The Iranian team secured 11 gold medals through Seyyedeh Sogand Golshani, Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini, Aida Haydari, Kimia Shoushtari, Mohammad Mehdi Rezaei, Ebrahim Aslani, Shoja’ Panahi, Mohammad Farhadi, Hamid Kianian, Mohamamd Hajizadeh and Hassan Lotfi.

    Mehdi Khani, Nazanin Bazdar, Mina Panahi, Fatemeh Jazini, Mohammad Ali Mojiri plus boys’ and girls’ duelin teams could add eight silvers to Iran’s medal tally.

    Additionally, Zahra Botshekan, Yasin Shahraki, Panahi, Khani, Bazdar and Mojiri settled for a bronze medal each.

    The seventh edition of the World Junior Wushu Championships opened on July 9, and ran through July 16, 2018.
    I'm curious how PRC did in the total medal count. I can't find an official site. The official IWuF site currently has a 'Seasons Greetings' message and several events from last year on their home page.
