NAYPYIDAW — Singapore’s women wushu exponents have beaten the national men’s waterpolo team in the race to win Team Singapore’s official first gold at the 2013 SEA Games in Myanmar.
Valerie Wee and Vera Tan finished top in the three-team women’s duilian (barehand) at the Wunna Theikdi Indoor Stadium this morning (Dec 10) after scoring 9.63 points. They beat hosts Myanmar and Indonesia who finished second and third respectively.
Although the men’s waterpolo team are practically assured of their 25th consecutive SEA Games title after recording three straight wins in the five-nation tournament, they still have to beat hosts Myanmar later today to confirm the gold.
Apart from the women’s duilian (barehand) gold, Singapore also won a silver in the women’s duilian (weapons) through Emily Sin, Zoe Mui and Hui Xin Fung while taijijian exponent Lee Tze Yuan bagged a bronze.
Singapore have now won a total of one gold, two silvers and two bronzes in wushu in Myanmar.
