PETALING JAYA: Mandy Cebelle Chen can rest easy after finishing her Sukma career on a high.
The 21-year-old became the first athlete to secure two gold medals at the Sarawak Sukma after her impressive win in the women's taijiquan final at the SSC Wushu Hall today.
Mandy, who had claimed gold for Selangor in the women’s taijijian event on Wednesday, continued her exceptional form to dominate the taijiquan final.
She scored 9.606 points to top the podium out of 18 competitors.
Kwan Yong Xin from the Federal Territories had to settle for silver with 9.600 points while Sarawak’s Carmen Jia Min Chaw took home the bronze with a score of 9.573.
"Honestly, I can't express how I feel. It's very emotional for me. To end my last Sukma at the age of 21 in Sarawak....my career is complete now. My first Sukma was also in Sarawak in 2016 and I finished on a perfect note," said Mandy, who is in the national wushu team.
