An outstanding performance in Texas is sending Bianca Go to this month’s World Junior Wushu Championships for the second time in her promising career.
Go will be stepping aside briefly from her Grade 12 year at Steveston-London Secondary School to attend the Junior Worlds in Burgos, Bulgaria, slated for Sept. 25 to Oct. 4.
She earned the trip to Europe and the opportunity to represent Canada by reaching the podium twice at the recent 11th Pan Am Wushu Championships in Lubbock, Texas.
Go thrived in her speciality event — double edge sword — to capture the gold medal. She also added silver in hand forms. This will be the final time she is eligible to attend Junior Worlds before moving up to the senior level.
It’s through her tremendous dedication and hard work she has become one of the best in the country in her sport which is a modern exhibition of traditional martial arts and requires tremendous athleticism.
Go will be spending plenty of time in gym over the next few weeks, leading up to her departure for Bulgaria.
