Medal Tally

More medals awarded at the start of today's events. (Today was Sanshou, but as you'll recall, medals weren't handed out at the end of yesterday.)

They still haven't given them all out, but of the medals that were awarded today, New Zealand received:

2 more bronze (both to Bronson for his Qun Yang Gun and Changchuan)
2 more silver (Vince and Tom won a joint silver for Qun Yang Gun)
1 exhibition gold (Lucy for Changchuan - exhibition means that there weren't enough entrants in her category to make up a full competition, so the rules for awarding medals work differently)
1 gold (Siu Yuat for Gunshu)

This brings New Zealand's total to:

Gold: 2
Gold (exhibition): 1
Silver: 3
Bronze: 5

Like I say, we still don't have all the results (it could be said that our hosts, while accommodating, friendly and gracious, are a little organizationally challenged). Word is that we're due at least two or three more medals (we think Tom scored one for Jianshu, and Siu Yuat and Mitchell seemed a shoe-in for their two-man form) but we may not know for sure until the team is on it's way home...

Day Three: Dunno.

Heading off to Day Three in a minute. Still don't have the many MANY (many) photos Richard's taken sorted out, so for now, here's a shot of Siu Yuat warming up his gold-winning spear technique:
