The men's nanquan / nangun all-around competition at the 2008 Beijing Wushu Tournament was held from August 21 to 22 at the Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium.[1]

Background

The nanquan, nandao, and nangun events at the 2007 World Wushu Championships were tightly contested. In comparison to other events, none of the nanquan athletes were a multi-medalist at the world championships, but Willy Wang and Pui Fook Chien emerged as potential favorites for the Beijing Wushu Tournament since they were one of the few athletes to place in the top eight across the three standard nanquan events.[2]

At the tournament, the nanquan event was closely contested with the top five scoring within a range of 0.5 points. In the nangun event, Willy Wang and Pui Fook Chien secured their positions, earning the gold and bronze medal respectively. Peng Wei-Chua made a comeback from fifth place during the first round to winning the silver medal. Willy Wang's victory was hailed by the Philippines media, as the team did not receive any medals at the 2008 Summer Olympics.[3]
