That’s that for the top scores, but apart from those, having trained in Shanghai Univesity of Sport during the winter I noticed familiar names such as Pang Ao Fung and Pan Xiao Lan making it into the top 16, so well done to them. I will try to get the footage of the Qualifiers as soon as I can find a way for it to be sent to me by my friends who have recorded the event. If by some reason we will not get hold of this footage fret not because Wushu One Family will be at the 11th All China Games to give you full video coverage of the competition. Peace |
