—The Philippine wushu team is assured of three bronzes at the 19th Asian Games with sanda fighters Arnel Mandal (men’s 56kg), Gideon Fred Padua (men’s 60kg) and Clemente Tabugara (men’s 65kg) figuring in the semifinals.
Wushu officials, however, are skeptical about allowing Padua to face Iran’s Shoja Panahigelehkolaei in the semis.
Padua got hit by an elbow and suffered a broken nose bridge in an impressive quarterfinal win over Turkmenistan’s Agajumageldi Yazymov.
