Go up against China in a wushu competition, and you are almost doomed to lose, competitors at a world championship in Bali have been finding out the hard way. The electronic scoreboard showed Ivana Ardelia Irmanto in second place with 8.98 points, before dropping to third behind Canadian Brianna Chan with 9.00 points, after Liao Zengyun finished her routine on a high to win the women's nanquan gold for China, with 9.35 points. Chinese artistic performers in taolu events at the ongoing World Junior Wushu Championship are proving invincible, having won every single event they have competed in. After picking up three gold medals in the three events they participated in on the opening day on Wednesday, they took part in only two of 14 events contested on Thursday, both producing victories for them. The other Chinese gold medalist on the day was Yuan Mengjie in the women's changquan. |
