Chin Ka Hou won two bronzes in Male B sword and spear. Chan Seng Fai won a bronze medal in the Male C in the Changquan event.
The delegation returned to Macao on the 21st in triumph. They were received and congratulated by the Wushu General Association and their parents. Cheong Ioi Chit, who won 1 gold 1 bronze after being upgraded to Group A, stated, “I'm very happy that I could win a gold medal for Macao. The Taolu became more difficult after I've been upgraded to Group A, but my performance was better than that in previous years. I also improved my mentality during the contest.”
Wong Sam In, who also won 1 gold 1 bronze, said, “The southern boxing event happened very late. I was almost the last one competing in the arena, and I felt more stressed. Before I went to the arena, I listened to music and tried to relax. Finally, I could perform at the same level as I had done during training. I'm very happy about that.”
