07/07/09

2009 Asian Youth Games

Bowling Championships at Orchid Bowl, Singapore (July 3-6, 2009)

Sim Ui-Jin from Korea and Basil Low (r-l) Singapore, won the coveted Girls and Boys Masters titles to end the bowling competition of the 1st Asian Youth Games at Orchid Bowl, Singapore.

17-year old Low, who overtook Choi Kyung-Hwan in the position round to claim the No. 1 seed for the Boys Masters stepladder finals, sat and watched the opening shootout match in which the Korean posted a 218 game to take care of #3 Collins Jose (right), Philippines (211). Low then posted two big scores (236, 265) to fly past his opponent and to cruise to victory with 501-433 two-game pinfall.

It was the first gold medal for the host country in Boys division and the third overall. Choi's silver medal was the fifth for the Korean boys, who were the team which has won a medal in each event (Singles, Doubles, Team and Masters). Jose's bronze medal was the sole medal for the Philippines in the Games.

Choi's compatriot Sim Ui-Jin took revenge as she defeated Singles and Doubles gold medalist New Hui Fen (left), Singapore, 433-350, to claim the Masters title in the Girls Division.

The #3 seed, who ousted another Singaporean, Darshini Krishna (right), in the semifinal, 249-199, took a 57 pin lead in game #1 (239-182) and never looked back. Choi sealed the victory with a 204-168 in game #2.

Singapore and Korea shared the gold medals in the Girls Division and finished 1-2 in the overall medal tally. Singapore had 3 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze, while Korea amassed 3 gold, 2 silver and four bronze.

Hong Kong took home two gold medals in the Boys Singles and Team events. Japan (2 silver, one bronze), Thailand (1 silver) and the Philippines (1 bronze) earned the remaining five medals.
