“Standing on the podium was a great honour, watching my flag being raised up was a memorable moment of my life.” Indeed, 23 September 2014 is a day which Team Singapore athlete, Tan Yan Ni, will never forget as she attained the Bronze medal in the Women’s Changquan Event at the Incheon Asian Games 2014! Catch the full competition video for the Women’s Changquan Event below. Yan Ni’s performance starts from 21:30. https://youtube.com/watch?v=ne7ygn88lUA This Bronze medal does not only add on to Singapore’s medal tally but also ended Singapore’s 8-year medal drought for Wushu in the Asian Games since 2006. The last medal attained by a Singaporean in Asian Games for Wushu was former Team Singapore athlete, Goh Qiu Bin, when he attained a Bronze medal in the Men’s Combined Taijiquan & Taijijian Events.
