Kai Xin overcomes pressure to claim Sukma golden farewell in wushu
SHAH ALAM: Wong Kai Xin could not have asked for a better way to end her Malaysia Games (Sukma) journey than with a gold medal.
SHAH ALAM: Wong Kai Xin concluded her Malaysia Games (Sukma) journey with a triumphant gold medal, ending a four-year Sukma career that began at the tender age of 12. At the age of 20, the Melaka wushu competitor delivered a composed performance in the women's nanquan event at the Ideal Convention Centre (IDCC), defeating her state teammate Nor Azira Kamarudzaman and Penang's Gillian Ong Ying Sze.
Kai Xin's victory held special significance as it was her final Sukma appearance, and she had initially targeted winning two gold medals but settled for one in the previous event. The 9.633-point score secured her the gold, allowing her to dedicate the victory to her parents, who she credited as her biggest support in her wushu career.
Kai Xin now shifts her focus towards the national team and aims to secure a spot at the upcoming SEA Games.
