Welcome to our athletes. A lot of audience here now today this morning and watching stand out in international Taijiquan and the judges for the athletes afterwards too. So let's see and then we'll see the costume is like the long sleeves compared to the Nanquan and Changquan is all different and you will see some slow motion with the continuous practice from the and I can hear the music now and then this is the balance with the low balance with leg cross behind and she's doing very good and yes Helen there's music for the Taiji. You notice that right? Yeah It's very different from other routines. Yes it's only appeared and required in the Taiji events. Nice jump with the lotus kick landing stable with the split hurdle split. The music actually provides rhythm that can help athletes maintain consistency, pace and flow. Inspire the creativity in athletes moves to explore the expression in Taiji. Just now she's doing the jumping front straight kick. The judges need to see whether the angle between the torso and the hanging leg is less than 135 degrees or there's a little sway in the body might be marks will be deducted for that Graceful, spiritual, combining strength, grace in an endless flow. The key character for the Taiji slow controlled movements and also the breath and relaxation. It looks soft but the core is so strong. Yes this is one of the key from the Taiji events. You can see some strong movements it is the Chen style. There's a several styles of Taiji including Yang, Chang, Wu, Sun each with its own characteristics and forms. I can say when the music change her movement will be followed yes actually the athletes will follow the music with the flow and then you look at her eyesight actually still focus on her arms and he comes the end of her performance. Thank you. A little bit marks deducted on the body's way 78 to 76. It's a very high school degree of difficulty she got and their attire is different. They can choose their own. Soft music opening. Every athlete will have different music and then they just follow the flow of the music and will see many many different kind of uniqueness from their routine and the music too. We also very enjoy the music. Yeah we enjoy the music same as the athletes. Every movement flows in harmony with the rhythm, with the music becomes some jumping skills. The front legs kept and the lotus kick with a hurdle speed landing very stable and will still stay focused although it's slow motion. There will be a lot of young style like the most popular style characterized by large flowing movements. Her transitions seamlessly between forms looks very smooth. Very smooth flowing movements. A good Taiji athlete will have the movements should be like emphasized on the relaxation and the balance too. So actually the footwork also very stable although it's not like what we see in the previous like Nanquan and Tangquan. There's another degree of difficulty for the low balance with leg crossed behind. So we are looking for the foot leg crossed behind shouldn't be in contact with the ground. So she's doing good for that one. There's some Chen style now. She's doing the jumping front straight kick and the kick when you kick the kicking leg should touch the forehead or over a bit of your forehead. But it shouldn't be like less than the 135 degree from the torso to the leg. Another Chen style showing which is like a combination of slow and fast movements as well as some explosive power. So from here in this little part you will see some sequences from the Chen. Some fast slow movements and powerful moves. When the music ends the whole routine. The score for 8.89 from Singapore again from China. Now the stepping onto the center stage is our just trying the support of the fans the friends the family. Our performance and for the Tai Chi actually the breath the breath awareness is very crucial too. The coordination breath with movement is essential right? The inhale during expansive move and exhale during contractions. The visualization imagining the energy flow can enhance the practice. Smooth flow. Jumping slip kick. Wow. Very smooth transition. Lotus jump with the hurdles stance. Very stable. She looks so calm but at the same time very smooth and focused. The balance and the coordination also do it very good too. This is a balance check.

When you turn it if you drop marks will be deducted or sway but she is doing so good. So far so good. So far so good. Jumping tornado kick 180 landing so well with the one leg raise stance. She's following the music with the flow. When the music is strong she's strong and powerful. Wow so clean the jumping front straight kick. The kick is powerful although it's just from Tai Chi but you can see some explosive power from her kick. A double kick. Yes a lot of supporters you can hear from the audience. The movement should flow smoothly from one posture to the next one when she really conducts well and creating a continuous practice too and it's unbroken. It looks effortless and smooth.
