Chengdu — Talk about an epic start! 🎉 21-year-old Wushu ace Lu Zhuoling just clinched China’s first gold at the 2025 Chengdu World Games, and the vibe here is electric. 🥇
In the morning session, Lu nailed her Taijiquan routine with a killer 9.796 points. Later, she wrapped up her Taijijian segment in 3rd place, but her combined 19.522 score was unbeatable. 😎💪
“This gold medal is the best birthday gift I could ask for,” Lu said with a grin — she turns 22 on August 22. “I was SO nervous backstage, but once I hit the mat, it felt like home. Big thanks to everyone cheering me on!” 🙏
Singapore’s Zeanne Law snagged silver with 19.430, and Malaysia’s Chin Sy Xuan Sydney took bronze at 19.410. Talk about tight competition! 👏
Wushu—also known as kung fu—is all about blending art, culture, and athleticism. From Taijiquan’s slow, flowing moves to the swift swordplay of Taijijian, this sport is pure eye candy. 🌟
Lu Zhuoling believes Wushu’s best days are ahead: “More young people from Delhi to Jakarta are diving into Wushu. I truly think we’ll see it on the Olympic stage one day!” 🚀
Stay tuned for more thrills from the Chengdu World Games! 🌍💥
