Wow Naman !!!
Do you believe this? Well, it’s true. Nitong Biyernes, August 22, si Willy Wang, ang dating world silver medalist ng Philippine Team, ay nakakuha ng first “gold” sa 9th World Wushu Championship para sa 29th Olympic Games na ginanap sa Olympic Sports Center in Beijing, China
Si Wang ay nakakuha ng average score na 9.47 points na nagdala sa kanya sa unang rango sa wushu sports demonstration sa nasabing Olympics. At alam niyo ba? Tinalo ni Wang ang benteng wushu athletes na galing pa sa iba’t ibang bansa. Ang galing di ba? Isipin mo, 21 silang lahat na sumabak sa demonstrasyon and he ranked first? Impressive! Habang ang mga participants from Brazil, Macau and Chinese Taipei made the second, third and fourth with scores of 9.72, 9.71 and 9.70, respectively.
This success made the country hoped for a “real gold” in the actual event. As you may know, this sports demonstration event where Wang won the gold medal is not official and so it is not counted technically, kaya hindi pwedeng ilagay ang medalya sa medal standing kasama ng mga regular sport.
Pero syempre dahil positive thinker tayong mga Pinoy, “Optimistic”, ika nga, we are raising our hopes that during the actual wushu event, the Philippine Team will eventually reign once more against other contenders.
During the said sports demonstration, First Gentleman Mike Arroyo was there, which eventually inspired the players to do not just good but do their best! And thankfully, Wang did!
Furthermore, Hollywood action star, Jet Li, who is also a renowned martial art expert, was also there to grace the event as the guest speaker.
On the other hand, si Benjie Rivera, Mary Jane Estimar and Marian Mariano also won the event at nakatitiyak na sa bronze medal. Sila ay sasabak ngayong Sabado, August 23, para sa semi-finals at siyempre pa, umaasa ang RP team that they will bring home the bacon.
Mabuhay ang mga manlalarong Pinoy at Mabuhay ang Bansang Pilipinas!
Willy Wang is not a Filipino. He is a Chinese who happens to have migrated in the RP just like Yao Ming who plays in the NBA but plays in the Chinese team during Beijing Olympics since he is a Chinese. The RP made him a Filipino citizen when they see his potential before joining in Nan Gun, so the glory must go to China and not to the Philippines. So sad coz RP is claiming something that its not their own. Anyways, China will not be concerned about this issue, she will be generous by donating its extra medals to a poor country who is desperate to have one.
