Results of US Team at the 7th World Wushu Championships
The US National Wushu Team led by Anthony Goh, Lu Xiaolin and Tat Mau Wong ranked 11th among the 58 countries competing at the 7th World Wushu Championships (7th WWC) which was held in Macau, China on November 2-8, 2003.
The US Team achieved good results at the above championships with 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze medal. In addition, several athletes achieved rankings in the top 8 of their respective categories.
The 45-member US Team thoroughly enjoyed their competition days in Macau. Athletes, Coaches, Officials and Observers formed an excellent team in providing support for each other during this challenging event. We want to congratulate Elaina Maxwell for winning the first gold medal ever for the US Team. We are so proud of her accomplishment, not only for herself, but for the team as well. We also want to congratulate Patrick Barry and Susan Paschkewitz for their silver and bronze medal respectively. Taolu athletes who were ranked in the top 8 are Jessica Zhang, Felicia Zhang, Dyra Sao & Stephon Morton. Congratulations!
The Taolu coach, Chen Dao Yun, and the Sanshou coach, Gao Mei Jian, provided excellent guidance for the team and ensured that each team member was properly prepared for their respective event. Dr. Santos Martinez, our team doctor, was very attentive in providing medical supervision for the team. Sanshou coaches from the US including Shawn Liu, Cung Le, Brent Hamby, Josh Bartholomew and Rudi Ott, were also on site to provide support to the athletes.
USAWKF Board Member, Malee Khow, served as a judge for Taolu and Wang Tao
of Dallas was a Sanshou judge at this prestigious event. Dr. C.P. Ong, who
is also a USAWKF Board Member, was invited by IWUF as a speaker at the Wushu
