Team Singapore were the runaway winners in the mixed team event, but it was India who won the bronze, who were the centre of attraction this evening on the fourth day of the V Commonwealth Tenpin Bowling championship at the Sunway Mega Lanes this evening. The Republic’s team comprising Shayna Ng, Geraldine Ng, Jason Yeong-Nathan and Remy Ong went into the second squad this afternoon with a huge lead – 266 – from the morning squad on short oil, never looked back as they sailed to victory over long oil with a grand total of 5185. |
Although the Malaysian team of Adrian Ang, Siti Safiyah Amirah, Zandra Aziela Ibrahim Hakimi and Zulmazran Zulkifli narrowed Singapore’s lead in the end to 130, when they finished second with a total of 5055, the Republic never looked threatened to lose grip. It was Singapore’s second gold medal after Shayna and Geraldine had given them the first gold in the doubles.
But it was Team India comprising Prathima Hedge, Akaash Ashok Kumar, Swapna Mitra and Shabbir Dhankot, who were rocking the house from the first squad when they finished third. And against all odds with teams like Australia, England and Malta all breathing down their neck, they carried on from where they had left in the first squad, to win the bronze with a total of 4765. |
