Agatha Wong bags 6th SEA Games gold in wushu

Filipina wushu athlete Agatha Wong has secured her sixth gold medal at the Southeast Asian Games, triumphing in the taijijian-taijiquan event.

She recovered from a third place finish in taijiquan to dominate in taijijian to clinch the overall combined championship this year.

The 27-year-old athlete has been dedicated to wushu since the age of eight, with her grandmother Eleanor Wong introducing her to the sport.

Her impressive SEA Games record includes six gold and two silver medals since 2017.

Wong also boasts multiple medals from other international competitions, including silvers from the World Championships in 2015 and 2023, a bronze from the 2025 World Championships in Brasilia, and a bronze from the 2018 Asian Games.

Both the 2025 World Games and 2025 World Championships prepared her for the SEA Games.

Beyond her athletic career, Wong is pursuing medicine at the University of the East and previously held a degree in diplomatic affairs.

She endured injuries throughout her career, including a back injury during the 2018 Asian Games and chronic tendonitis at age 14.
