Wushu exponent Zeanne Law clinches Singapore’s first Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games medal

Law added that the month she spent in China training prior to the Games paid off.

The 20-year-old finished ninth in the same event at the Hangzhou Games. She won a taijiquan world title in 2023 and was named 2023 Wushu Taolu Rising Star of the Year.

“I’m so happy to be honest … After the competition, I felt like crying because I was like: ‘Wow, I’ve grown so much after these four years.'”

On Sunday, she trailed Lachkar after the taijiquan. But a strong performance in the taijijian later in the afternoon saw her finish with the same score as the Bruneian and earn joint-bronze.

This is the second consecutive Games where a wushu exponent has clinched Singapore’s first medal. At the last edition in Hangzhou, Kimberly Ong took bronze in the women’s changquan event.

“(What I will take away) is to always trust yourself, and to also trust your process,” said Law. “Know that no failed attempt during practice is wasted – it will all come in handy during the actual competition.”
