Never mind that it is for a demonstration sport, a gold medal is still a gold medal. Finally, the Philippines won a gold medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Willy Wang won the gold medal for the Philippines at the Beijing Olympics’ wushu competition. Three wushu athletes, Benjie Rivera, Mary Jane Estimar and Marian Mariano, were also assured of bronze medals.
There couldn’t have been a better timing since the Philippine’s …
