History was made at the 2015 World Wushu Championships when Elizabeth Lim won Australia’s first ‘World Wushu Championships’ Gold Medal.
“Elizabeth Lim has work tremendously hard. She started competing for Australia since 2007 and has improved at every Championships since then. This occasion, on her 5th time she represented Australia, she finally became World Champion, despite carrying a meniscus tear injury in her left knee going into the Championships. I am very proud of her”
