[20th Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games | Taolu | Men's Changquan Results]
Gold: Kuong Chi Hin (MAC) 9.723 points
Silver: Song Chi Kuan (MAC) 9.720 points
Bronze: Siregar S.N. (Indonesia) 9.720 points
Kuong Chi Hin delivered an outstanding performance in this morning's Men's Changquan competition, scoring a event-high 9.723 points to secure the Macau delegation's first gold medal of the Nagoya Asian Games. Following his gold medal in Men's Qiangshu at the IWUF 4th Wushu Taolu World Cup in July and his silver at the World Championships, Kuong carried his phenomenal form onto the Asian Games stage to claim gold once again. The battle for silver was exceptionally tight. Macau's Song Chi Kuan—the Men's Changquan bronze medalist at the previous Hangzhou Asian Games—executed a clean, steady routine to earn 9.720 points. Having won Macau's first medal at the 2023 Hangzhou Games, he took his performance a step further this time to upgrade his medal to silver. Indonesian athlete Siregar S.N. also scored 9.720 points, but received the bronze medal due to lower degree of difficulty criteria. By sweeping both gold and silver on the very first competition day, the Macau Wushu Team has not only gotten off to a magnificent start, but also once again demonstrated Macau's formidable competitiveness of Wushu Taolu in Asia!
The Women's Taijiquan event also concluded this morning, with China's Tong Xin currently leading the pack with a score of 9.770. Japan's Shiho Saito (9.733) and Brunei's Lachkar Basma (9.723) are currently sitting in second and third place, respectively. Following the Women's Taijijian competition at 2:30 PM this afternoon, the final scores from both events will be combined to determine the gold, silver, and bronze medalists for the Women's Taijiquan-Taijijian All-Around.
