Wushu loses key coach, hopes to get more


PETALING JAYA: With the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, and the summer Youth Olympics in Dakar, Senegal, being held in 2022, the Wushu Federation of Malaysia are hoping to recruit more coaches into the national set-up.

The squad just lost a bg name in Chinese coach Mao Yaqi, who played a big role in helping woman nanquan exponent Tan Cheong Min to take gold at the World Wushu Championships in Shanghai last year. Yaqi left for home yesterday.
