South Korea, Tuesday, September 23, 2014 — Tan Yan Ni won the Women’s Changquan bronze medal – a first for wushu at the Asian Games.

She posted a score of 9.63 to finish behind China’s Kan Wencong and Hong Kong’s Geng Xiaoling respectively.

While the quality of management and degree of difficulty of her routine matched the top two, Yan Ni lost out in overall performance.

The 18-year-old’s bronze medal is also the first by a Singaporean woman in the same event since the 1994 Asian Games in Hiroshima, Japan.

In the Men’s Taijiquan and Taijijian All-Round Finals, 24-year-old Lee Tze Yuan finished eighth out of 14 competitors. 18-year-old Samuel Tan finished 11th.
