Wushu SUMUT - Sumatera Utara

This is another sport Medan is proud of - WUSHU - one kind of Chinese Martial Art

WUSHU Sumut has proven itself that it is leading in this sport by winning the most medals in PON XVII/2008 the current sports games competition in Indonesia held in Dome Sports Centre Balikpapan, Kalimantan Timur Indonesia.

Our North Sumatra team headed by Master Supandi Kusuma ( also owner of Koran Medan - Harian Analisa and Medan Bisnis ) won a total of 16 medals with 9 Gold medals, 4 Silver medals and 3 Bronze Medals. This is an unexpected achievements as the team was only targeting 5 Gold Medals this year.

WUSHU Sumut will carry on its journey to win more medals in the next competition of “Wushu Junior World Championship 2008” which is going to be held in Bali Indonesia this coming December 2008.

What is more promising for Wushu SUMUT is that the goal of Master Supandi Kusuma is to bring the team international and hope to be able to participate in Olympic 2012 if the sport becomes an official games in the Olympic. With such a strong support, we are sure WUSHU SUMUT will achieve its goals and make Medan and North Sumatra proud!

It is reported that Lindswell may represent Indonesia and WUSHU SUMUT in the 2008 Beijing Olympic too!
