The national junior wushu team bagged two silver and one bronze medals. At the prestigious
5th World Junior Wushu Championships held at the Kepez Belediyesi, Kapali Spor Salonu,
Antalya, Turkey.
Taolu specialists Hazel Dalisay and Faith Liana Andaya secured one silver each in the girls’
Group C category of the tournament which drew more than 500 athletes from some 80
countries.
*Please note that Group C does not degrade the quality of the field it merely designated the
type of event. E.g. in Athletics Throws, Distance, Sprints.
Dalisay wound up second in the qiangshu (spear form) event dominated by Xin Peng Isabelle Chua of Singapore. Andaya placed second in the jianshu (sword form) category behind gold medalist Qi Shou of China.
American Annie Lee Tang (qiangshu) and Pu Yang Lau of Hong Kong (jianshu) settled for bronze.
Asian Junior Wushu Championship taolu (form) gold medalist Johnzenth Gajo added one
bronze in the boys’ Group C changquan (long fist) class. Cheuk Hang Lao of Hong Kong
topped the event followed by silver winner Taha Badae Gavarte of Iran.
*World Junior level medals are considered equivalent to senior medals at the next rung down
which is the Asian Games. Its looking like Wushu may have more qualifiers for the next SEA
Games. They had 100% medal return last SEA Games. All 9-10 of there athletes obtaining
medals. Wushu won three golds. Its good to see emerging talents in this sport.
Johnzeth Gajo?

Wong, Vanessa Jo Chan, Alieson Ken Omengan, Joel Casem, Christian Lapitan and Dave

in there events. \
