SEA Games 2023: First Day of Wushu, Tasya Contributes Silver

– The wushu branch starts competing in the 2023 SEA Games today, Wednesday (10/5/2023). Indonesia started with a silver medal won by the Indonesian female taolu athlete, Tasya Ayu Puspa Dewi, in the Nanquan Putri number.

Tasya won silver in her debut at the SEA Games after packing 9,593 points.

The gold medal was won by a Malaysian athlete who is also the 2019 world champion, Tan Cheong Min with the highest score of 9,626 points. Meanwhile, the bronze medal was won by Aye Thit Sar Myint from Myanmar by collecting 9,143 points.

The silver that Tasya won was quite satisfying because it was her first time.

“Tasya is a taolu athlete who is appearing at the SEA Games for the first time. That’s why we appreciate Tasya’s success in winning silver at the 2023 SEA Games in Cambodia,” said the head coach of the Indonesian wushu national team, Novita. Between.

There is still a golden opportunity from the wushu branch. This was after Edgar Xavier Maervelo and Seraf Naro Siregar qualified for the final round of the combined number Daoshu and Gunshu Putra. Both of them collected the highest score of 9.68 points in the Gunsu number.

They will appear in the Daoshu number which will be played on Thursday (11/5/2023).

In addition, there is also a golden opportunity for Muhammad Daffa Golden Boy who will appear in the combined number Jianshu and Qiangshu Putra. In Jianshu, Daffa won the highest score of 9.65 points.

“Hopefully Edgar and Haris will be able to maintain their performances when they appear in the Daoshu number later so that they can ensure a gold medal to be donated to the Indonesian contingent. Likewise with Daffa who will play Qiangshu,” said the coach of the Indonesian taolu national team, Susyana.
