First Gold Delivered by Cheau Xuen

Malaysia opened their gold account at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon, Korea when Tan Cheau Xuen finished first in the women's nanquan and nandao all around event with 19.23 points to her name.

It was an improvement for Cheau Xuen who won the bronze four years ago in Guangzhou but early favourite to win a medal here, Diana Bong failed in achieving her target. Diana who won the gold medal at the Myanmar SEA Games did not perform at her best and was full of errors to finish last out of twelve competitiors.

Indonesian Juwita Niza Wasni won the silver with 19.19 points while the hot favourite to win the gold here, Wei Hong of China could only finish with a bronze after managing only 19.15 points.

Former Asian Games gold medalist, Lin Fan was accredited to being instrumental in shaping Cheau Xuen to come out on top today.
