Surprise Sea Games wushu gold from women

SINGAPORE: An excitable trio of young women delivered a second Sea Games wushu gold medal for Malaysia today by winning the women's duilian barehand event.

With only three countries taking part, Malaysia's Audrey Chan, Chan Lu Yi and Aggie Cheah edged Myanmar and Laos to the gold medal after scoring 9.65 points.

"We were not expecting to win gold," said Audrey. "We had not trained for this event for very long but we are excited to have won."

Their gold medal follows Loh Jack Chang's victory in the men's compulsory taijijian earlier in the day.

The wushu exponents ended their campaign with two gold, three silver and four bronze medals.
