The defending champion Yuan, 22, impressed the judges and audiences with acrobatic, swift moves to snatch the gold medal with 9.78 points.
Japan's Daisuke Ichikizaki took the silver with 9.72 and Iran's Peyghambari Ehsan claimed the bronze with 9.70 points.
"I know my parents must be watching me now through the live broadcast, and I hope they will be healthy," said Yuan.
China's hope for the 1st gold of the whole Games rests on the shoulder of world champions Yuan, basing on his undefeated performances these years.
"It's my first time to see so many journalists. Such a tense attention on me means pressure, but motivation as well," said Yuan.
More than 150 athletes will compete for 15 gold medals in Wushu, a full contact sport derived from Chinese martial art. The Chinese, who founded the sport, are seen the favorites in theten events they will participate.
The sport comprises Taolu (set routines), and Sanshou boxing (free sparring). Changquan form, or long fist boxing, featuring imitations of animal moves, is the basic and main style of modern Wushu, mostly performed in north China.
A total of 476 gold medals are on offer at the Guangzhou Aisan Games, with around 9,700 athletes from 45 countries and regions competing in 42 sports until Nov. 27.

Race to Finals hots up, WR points up for grabs

With two events to go, the race for the VICTOR BWF Super Series Finals 2010 is nearing its exciting conclusion.

And some of the biggest names in the sport will have to make up for some lost ground when they compete in the upcoming LI NING China Open (30 Nov – 5 Dec) and YONEX SUNRISE Hong Kong Open (7-12 Dec).

The VICTOR BWF Super Series Finals 2010 will be played at the Hsinchuang Gymnasium in Taipei, Chinese Taipei on 5-9 January 2011.

Players like three-time world champion Lin Dan, World No 1 Lee Chong Wei, reigning world champion Chen Jin and several other big names from Korea and Indonesia did not compete in the recent Denmark Open and YONEX French Open as they were preparing for the ongoing Asian Games in Guangzhou, China.

Though Chong Wei has qualified for the Finals, Chen Jin and Lin Dan have yet to qualify and are currently ranked No 11 and no 13 respectively in the Super Series Standings.

China’s highest ranked player in the men’s singles is Du Pengyu with former world junior champion Chen Long lying in eighth position.

As such, in order for Lin Dan to qualify automatically, he will have to at least finish higher than Chen Long.

The Finals is for the top eight highest ranked players/pairs based on the Super Series Standings but is limited to a maximum of two players/pairs per Member Association.

Any player/pair who declines the invitation to compete, the Badminton World Federation will invite the next highest ranked player/pair on the Super Series Standings.

In the women’s singles, China have four players – Wang Yihan, Wang Shixian, Wang Xin and Jiang Yanjiao - in the top eight but will only be eligible to enter two of its players which means the invitation will go on to the 9th and 10th placed players in the Super Series standings.

Once again US$500,000, the richest prize fund of the 2010 Series, is up for grabs, and forthe Finals in Chinese Taipei there is an added incentive to take part as for the first time World Ranking points are available to the competitors.

“The points level awarded will be equivalent to those awarded for BWF Premier Super Series tournaments,” said BWF Events Director Darren Parks.

“This means the players are guaranteed minimum quarter-finalists points as there are only eight competitors per event.”

The winner takes home 9700 points followed by 8250 points for the runner up while the losing semi-finalists will receive 6800 points respectively. Players/pairs who don’t qualify for the knock out stage (semi-finals) will collect 5350 points. SS-Finals2010-banner
