SEE Min made a grand debut in the Asian Junior Wushu Championships when she won Malaysia’s first gold medal in Macau yesterday.
Malaysia also bagged two silver and three bronze medals from eight events on the first day of competition in the taolu (barehands and weapons) categories.
See Min won the girls’ Group B (Under-15) nanquan (southern style barehand) with 8.82 points. Singapore’s Sin Minli took silver with 8.76 and Iran’s Maryam Esmati the bronze with 8.74.
See Min, who is coached by former Sea Games gold medallist Lim Kim, made her international debut in last year’s World Youth Championships in Bal, where she took silver in the nandao (broadsword) event.
Yesterday’s silver medals came from Tai Cheau Xuen in the girls’ Group A (Under-18) nanquan and Loh Ying Ting in the girls’ Group C (Under-12) gunshu (stick).
The bronze medallists were Foong Foo Mun (boys’ Group A taijiquan), Kimberly Goh (girls’ Group A taijiquan) and Yap Zheng Yan (boys’ Group A changquan or northern style barehands).
In the Singapore edition two years ago, Malaysia chalked a medal haul of 3-2-3. All the three gold medals were won in Group A competitions.
