NAGOYA, Sept 20 2026 — National men’s wushu exponent Muhammad Danish Aizad Firdaus Chua said he was pleased with his performance on his Asian Games debut, despite finishing seventh in the men’s changquan event at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Games today.
Danish Aizad delivered a composed routine at the Aichi Prefectural Martial Arts Hall and scored 9.700 points. The result ended Malaysia’s hopes of a first medal at this edition of the Asiad.
The Penang-born exponent said he was not overly concerned about the final placing, as his focus was on executing his best routine in a judged event.
“Today was one of my calmest performances. Asiad is a high-intensity competition, so I wasn’t expecting much. I just hoped I would not make any mistakes and could put in a good performance.
“My two months of training in China paid off. What I could control was my own performance, and I am satisfied because I was able to give my best today,” he said after the competition.
Macau’s Chi Hin Kuong won gold with 9.723 points. Teammate Song Chi Kuan took silver with 9.720 points, while Indonesia’s Seraf Naro Siregar settled for bronze on the same score of 9.720.
The national wushu squad has set a target of two medals at the Games, which opened yesterday and will run until Oct 4.
