Macau earned its third medal at the 19th Asian Games on Tuesday – a bronze in the men’s nanquan event, snapped up by Huang Junhua.
Nanquan is a southern Chinese form of wushu, an exhibition sport based on martial arts.
According to the Macau Post Daily, Huang Junhua – who won gold at the Asian Games in Jakarta in 2018 – said that this was the last year he would be competing in the quadrennial event.
“I have just one more wish, that is to win a gold medal at the Asian Wushu Championship next year,” the 31-year-old said.
