(Baonghean.vn) - After 5 days of fierce competition, on the morning of July 21 at the Provincial Sports Service and Competition Center, 36 final matches of the Sanshou event took place and awards were presented, closing the 2015 National Youth Wushu Tournament.

The 2015 National Youth Wushu Championship had the participation of 284 athletes from 28 provinces, cities and sectors. According to the evaluation of the Organizing Committee, the tournament was exciting, dramatic, safe and successful according to the plan. Notably, although it was a youth tournament, many athletes participated in the competition for the first time but showed quite good professional quality. However, there were also many matches where athletes withdrew, the main reason was the difference in level.
