FISU World Cup Combat Sports 2022
Navigating through university life is tough as it is. Now, add in Wushu practice, personal training, juggling studies, clubs and societies, and making room for personal life — seems like a lot.
Although their plates are full, our Wushu trio: Tammy Tan Hui Ling, Tan Cheong Wan, and Sydney Chin Sy Xuan pushed themselves to be resilient despite these obstacles, they worked together to make the most out of their efforts.
We’ve always been confident with our Wushu team. Mr. Illangovan believes that our Wushu team holds the edge in these athletics competitions and has always been the powerhouse in this area.
This was obviously demonstrated during the recently concluded SUKMA 2022 sport events where they also attained 5 medals and 9 from the ASEAN University Games in the Wushu category.
This time with their collective efforts, they gain another 5 Medals in the FISU World Cup Combat Sports 2022 which was held in Samsun, Turkey from 21st to 24th September 2022 (Right after their SUKMA sport events).
As you see, they are all final year students; nothing can stop these students from being awesome!
With that, our Wushu team delivered the following results:

We took this opportunity to reflect on the wins, the losses, the team building, and the personal development that our student-athletes underwent this season.
All of our student-athletes should be proud of their accomplishments. We will never forget their hard work, dedication, and perseverance that got them this far.
Congratulations to all of our athletes!
