Chinese athlete Liu Dewen has won the gold medal in the men's taijiquan and taijijian all-around competition at the Asian Games, chinanews.com.cn reports. The event combines two disciplines within wushu, with competitors' scores from both routines determining the final standings.
The result was reported on Monday, September 21, 2026, by chinanews.com.cn, with Xinhua and other Chinese outlets also carrying news of the win. The all-around format requires athletes to perform in both the taijiquan and taijijian categories, and Liu finished first across the combined results.
Coverage of the competition also included reporting on the women's equivalent event. According to People's Daily's Japan channel, Tong Xin took gold in the women's taijiquan and taijijian all-around, meaning China claimed victory in both categories reported from the same competition day.
Wushu remains one of the sports in which Chinese athletes have traditionally been strong at the Asian Games, and the taijiquan and taijijian all-around is one of several wushu medal events on the program. The reporting from chinanews.com.cn and other outlets focused on the final outcome rather than detailed scoring, and no breakdown of individual routine scores was included in the available coverage.
With Liu's gold confirmed, attention now turns to the remaining wushu events on the Asian Games schedule and how the host nation's team performs across the rest of the discipline.
