DHAKA, Aug. 9 -- It's a do-or-die situation for Bangladeshi Wushu stars who missed out on winning gold medals in the 2016 South Asian Games.
Not to suffer the same fate in 2019 South Asian Games, the Bangladesh Wushu Association is gearing up its preparations as the medal tables are a matter of great prestige for both players and association leaders. It is for this reason that the association, this time around, has started advanced training programs for select players.
In collaboration with the Chinese embassy in Dhaka, the association has organized the training in which 40 selected male and female players who won gold medals for Bangladesh in various local and foreign competitions earlier, are participating.
Advanced high altitude training, as part of the special program, is helping players who are now desperately trying to recover from injuries in the run up to the next South Asian Games to be held in Kathmandu in March 2019.
Eti Islam is a member of the Bangladesh Army. She has been practicing Wushu for about 10 years.
She won the Wushu gold medal in the 11th South Asian Games but narrowly missed the opportunity in its 12th edition.
Eti is now ready to go the extra mile to win another gold in the Kathmandu South Asian Games.
"We're now preparing for the South Asian Games. I am preparing myself to win the gold medal for Bangladesh again at the South Asian games next year," said a confident looking Eti, who has acquired more skills under her Chinese coaches who are the key figures of the ongoing training.
