SINGAPORE SEA GAMES: Women's Duel Event


Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is real! These girls can really put on a fight!

Analysis: The Philippine duo put on a good show put came in last (for their performance, go to the 7:30 mark). To my inexperienced eye, the pair had grace and speed in spades but what they lacked was power and precision. Several times, they made moves that should have made contact but didn't, or that made a faint clink. By the end, one of them was obviously slowing down her pace to allow her partner to catch up. If I noticed that (and again, I am not a very experienced wushu watcher). then I'm pretty sure the judges noticed that too.

Still, these girls have made us proud. Salamat at mabuhay kayo, Kariza Chan and Natasha Enriquez.
