EAST Asian countries Japan and South Korea emerged tops in the Asian Waterski and Wakeboard Championship at the Putrajaya Lake Club. But it was local ace Philippa Yoong who stole the limelight on the final day of the five-day event, a proud moment for a South-East Asian country.
Philippa, 33, struck gold in the slalom event with a perfect score of 1,000, relegating last year’s silver medallist Saaya Hirosawa of Japan to second place again on 846.15 points.
