SEPANG, Sept 10 (Bernama) -- National wushu ace Tan Cheong Min has described her achievement of two golds and a silver at the 17th World Wushu Championships in Brasilia, Brazil, as the sweetest moment in her career.
She was also pleased that her achievement this time made amends for the disappointment she experienced in the 2023 edition in the United States, where she suffered health issues.
"Six years ago, in Shanghai, China, I got a gold medal in women's Nandao.
“So, I feel that although I won two gold medals in different events this time, it’s still well worth it because six years is quite a long time for any athlete, especially for us women,” she said as she shed tears of joy when met at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1 upon arrival from Brazil.
She admitted that the three-month intensive training the national wushu squad underwent in China before heading to Brazil had a great impact on their mesmerising performances in the world meet.
Cheong Min began her campaign with a silver in Nandao before striking gold in Nangun.
The world champion then concluded her campaign with a team gold in the Duilian event with Lee Jia Rong and Pang Pui Yee.
