Singapore's Vera Tan and Zeanne Law clinched golds in the World Taijiquan Championships women's optional taijijian and taijiquan respectively.Just a day earlier, Vera Tan had one regret after clinching a bronze in the women’s optional taijiquan at the World Taijiquan Championships at OCBC Arena – she wished she had smiled more during her routine.
“I was 16 when I won the women’s optional taijiquan gold but they didn’t have this many competitors then. So, I’m happy to win gold again after a long time.” Home support also gave her a boost, as she said: “It is definitely nerve-racking, but it is exciting and satisfying when we get to show our skills to our home crowd, family and friends who rarely get to watch us live in competition.”On Aug 24, the 18-year-old won gold in 9.700 ahead of Lachkar and Tan , extending her fine form from 2023, when she also won the taijiquan gold at the World Wushu Championships in the United States.
