BANGKOK: National compound archer Juwaidi Mazuki walked off the arena without any regret, only quiet acceptance and respect for his young opponent.

His bid for a ninth SEA Games gold medal ended with a narrow 145-147 defeat to Thailand’s Peerapat Pattanapongkiat in the men’s individual compound final at the Thailand Sports Authority Archery Range yesterday.
