Wushu Makes Olympic History: Four Nations Claim Landmark Golds at Dakar 2026
By May Zhao DAKAR, Nov. 9, 2026 — Wushu made history at the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games, becoming an official Olympic medal sport for the first time. On November 3, four historic gold medals were awarded at the Dakar Expo Centre in Senegal, with China, Egypt, Hong Kong, China, and Singapore emerging victorious. The spectacular displays of traditional Chinese martial arts captivated spectators and marked a milestone in wushu’s global development.
China’s 15-year-old Lin Yilei became wushu’s first Youth Olympic champion, winning the Men’s Changquan Combined with 18.796 points. “I finally did it. I am very proud,” Lin said. “I want to help spread wushu around the world, to every country.” He thanked his coaches and family, adding that although athletes compete fiercely, they remain good friends outside the arena.
Egypt’s Sondos Sonbol captured the Women’s Changquan Combined gold, dedicating her historic victory to her brother and sister. “My mom and dad chose this kimono for me. I know they are very proud of me,” she said, expressing gratitude for her family’s support and promising to continue improving her skills.
Hong Kong, China’s Poon Hao Ran claimed the Men’s Taijiquan Combined title despite overcoming illness and injuries. “I managed to perform consistently despite the pressure,” he said. Singapore’s Ng Zhe Nin triumphed in the Women’s Taijiquan Combined after months of intensive training. “This was one of my goals since I was young,” she said, describing her gold medal as the fulfilment of a childhood dream.
International Olympic Committee President Kirsty Coventry, who attended the wushu competition, had earlier welcomed its Olympic debut, describing it as “a very important sport for China, but also for many other countries around the world.” Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, himself a former martial arts practitioner, attended the finals and praised the athletes’ performances, highlighting the discipline, patience and self-control embodied in martial arts.
Silver medals went to athletes from Indonesia, Venezuela, Vietnam and Chinese Taipei, while Iran, India, Japan and Germany secured bronze. Previously featured as an exhibition sport at Beijing 2008 and Nanjing 2014, wushu’s historic breakthrough in Dakar represents a significant step in its international recognition. As Africa hosts its first Olympic sporting event, the ancient Chinese martial art has opened a new chapter on the world Olympic stage.
