Jia Rui SLM (Chinese: 贾瑞; pinyin: Jiǎ Ruì; born February 18, 1987), is a former competitive wushu taolu athlete who represented Macau.[1] He was one of the most dominant wushu taolu athletes of the 2000s and the early 2010s. He also won the first gold medal for Macau at the Asian Games.[2][3]

Career[]

Jia started practising wushu taolu at the age of five.[2] In 2003, the 17-year-old Jia travelled to Macau through a foreign exchange programme between the Chinese Wushu Association (CWA) and the Macau wushu team. Jia then entered the Macau Polytechnic Institute (IPM) while training wushu intensively.[4]

Jia’s international debut was at the 2005 East Asian Games where he won a gold medal in changquan, a silver medal in the daoshu and gunshu combined event, and a bronze medal in duilian. Just on these achievements, the Macau SAR government awarded Jia a certificate of merit,[5] and in 2007, a medal of sporting merit.[6] It was also arranged for him to participate in the torch relay for the 2008 Summer Olympics.[7]

In 2006, Jia competed in the Asian Games for the first time and won silver in the changquan event. At the 2008 Beijing Wushu Tournament, he earned a silver medal in the daoshu and gunshu combined event.[8][9] Returning to the East Asian Games in 2009, he achieved the same result of a gold medal in changquan and a silver medal in daoshu and gunshu. A year later, Jia competed at the 2010 World Combat Games and won the gold medal in the changquan event.[10] A few months later, he made history and became the first athlete from win a gold medal for Macau at the 2010 Asian Games, doing so in the daoshu and gunshu combined event.

A few years later, Jia competed in the 2013 East Asian Games and won two gold medals in his speciality events and a bronze medal in duilian. Jia's last major international competition was at the 2014 Asian Games where he won a silver medal in changquan. He subsequently retired from competition and began coaching young athletes.[7]

During his tenure at the World Wushu Championships, Jia established one of the most expansive medal records of any athlete and is the first male taolu athlete to achieve four gold medals which he won consecutively from the 2007 to the 2013 renditions. He was also highly successful at the Asian Wushu Championships.
