the philippines' first medal in the games was a silver medal from daniel parantac in the men's taijiquan and taijijian event. he scored a total of 19.26 points behind the chinese athlete who scored 19.55 points. vietnam took the bronze.
parantac was only able to get 9.58 points in the taijijian event in the morning. it was good for an 8th place standing out of 14 athletes. he then came back in the afternoon with a strong taijiquan routine and was awarded 9.68 points. he placed second and his score was good enough for a silver finish over-all.
here is daniel parantac's performance in the 2014 asian games:
in the afternoon, francisco solis was not able to compete in the semi-finals match in men's sanda -56kg category due to injury. from some reports, it was an injury that he got from the training in china and worsened during the competition. he settled for a bronze medal finish.
just this afternoon, young wushu athlete jean claude saclag bowed down to his chinese oponent in the finals of men's sanda -60kg category. saclag, who was wishing for a gold medal on the eve of his 20th birthday, settles for silver.
hope this is the start of the philippines' harvest of medals in the 2014 asian games.
congratulations to the wushu athletes! laban pilipinas!
