Background The favorite of the competition was Jade Xu (then known as Xu Huihui). At the 2007 World Wushu Championships, Xu became a three-time world champion. Geng Xiaoling was another projected favorite, as she won a silver medal in daoshu and a bronze medal in changquan at the 2007 world championships which was also her international debut. Another projected favorite could have been Macau's Xi Cheng Qing who won the gunshu and changquan silver medals at the 2007 world championships, but she decided to compete in the changquan event for this competition and won silver.
