China, birthplace of Wushu or Chinese Martial Arts, showed its superiority and mastery in the game when it collected 11 golds at the Fifth World Wushu Championships closed in Hong Kong on November 7.

"I am very satisfied with my 13 athlets' performance, especially Shanshou fighters in the tournament, I'd say we have reached our aim," said Chinese team leader Li Jie, who is general secretary of the International Wushu Federation.

In order to promote Wushu to the world, Chinese, who won eight golds in last championships in Rome two years ago, restrained themselves by limiting each of their 8 Taolu athlets to compete in only one event.

Fortunately, all the eight athlets were crowned in their events in the tournament which featured 20 Taolu events and 11 Shanshou categories.
