BANGKOK, Dec 15 — The national wushu squad closed the 2025 SEA Games campaign with flying colours when it won two gold medals on the final day of the event at Chaeng Watthana Government Complex today.
National wushu queen Tan Cheong Min contributed both golds through the combined event of three disciplines of nanquan, nandao, and nangun, as well as the women's duilian (armed) team event.
In the individual event, the Melaka-born athlete collected 29,263 points overall, with 9,743 points in nanquan and 9,760 points each for nandao and nangun to clinch the gold.
The silver medal was won by Vietnam's Dang Tran Phuong Nhi, with 28,112 points, while the bronze went to Singapore's Kassandra Ong Xue Ling, who collected 28,579 points.
Tan then teamed up with Loh Ying Ting and Pang Pui Yee to win the country's second gold medal in the women's team duilian event, scoring a total of 9,730 points.
She said the success was the result of thorough preparation, including a three-month training camp in China starting in March.
"I am very happy with my own and the team's achievements. My preparations started early not only for the SEA Games, but also several other major tournaments throughout the year," Tan said when met.
She is also confident that the success can be a catalyst for the national wushu squad's performance ahead of the 2027 SEA Games, which Malaysia will host.
On Saturday (December 13), Lo Ying Ting, Mandy Cebelle Chen, and Sydney Chin Sy Xuan contributed the first gold medal of the wushu camp by winning the Duilian event (without weapons).
The wushu camp closed the campaign by collecting three gold, one silver, and four bronze in total.
