Wushu star Parantac out to get third SEA Games gold

KUALA LUMPUR — For the past two Southeast Asian Games, Daniel Parantac was the epitome of silent efficiency.

The 26-year-old Parantac, champions in wushu’s forms events taijijian and taijiquan, has brought gold medals to the country in the Singapore and Napyidaw editions.

He is again expected to carry Team Philippines when wushu events jianshu, gunshu and taijijian — all forms disciplines but with different weapons — unfurl Sunday with five golds medals at stake.

Joining him in the hunt are Thorton Quiney, Kimberly Macuha and Norlence Ardee Catolico.

Wushu is hoping to once again be a gold mine in the SEA Games after producing only one gold and four silvers in Singapore two years ago.
