Edgar Presents Gold in the 2023 SEA Games Wushu Branch

National wushu athlete Edgar Xavier Marvelo managed to add to Indonesia’s gold medal coffers from the Wushu branch at the 2023 SEA Games Cambodia which was held at Hall A Chroy Changvar Phnom Penh, Friday (12/4/2023).

The silver medals were donated from Eugenia Diva Widodo in the Changquan Putri number and Haris Horatius from the combined number of Nandao and Nangun Putra.

For Edgar, this medal was his third gold medal in the biennial multi-branch event for Southeast Asian countries. The previous two golds were won by Edgar at the 2019 Philippines SEA Games.

“The opponents have also competed optimally and thank God, I competed optimally too, without deducting points and was able to win gold,” said Edgar.

“I am grateful to be able to go through it perfectly. This gold medal is to make up for my failure when appearing at the Changquan SEA Games 2021 Vietnam,” he added.

With these results, the Indonesian wushu national team has donated two gold, five silver and one special bronze from the Taolu number to the Indonesian contingent.

Previously, the Indonesian woman Sanda athlete Rosa Beatrice Malau also successfully donated a gold medal in the wushu sport at the 2023 SEA Games in Cambodia. In the final match for the Women’s 45kg class which was played on Thursday (11/5/2023), Rosa defeated Sanda athlete, the host of Cambodia, Sam Marry, with a winning number.
