Men’s bowlers’ medal run over but they can walk tall


Super show: The men’s team (back row, from left) Syafiq Ridhwan Abdul Malek, Tun Hakim Tun Hasnul Azam, Timmy Tan, Adrian Ang and Alex Liew; (front row, from left) Maradona Chok, Holloway Cheah, Rafiq Ismail and Ben Heng celebrate their best ever medal haul of two golds at the Men’s World Championships in Hong Kong yesterday.

PETALING JAYA: It was an anti-climatic ending for the high-flying national bowlers at the Men’s World Championships in Hong Kong.

Malaysia had to settle for their best-ever haul of two golds – courtesy of victories from Rafiq Ismail through the singles and Adrian Ang-Tun Hakim Tun Hasnul Azam in the doubles – as there will be no more medals coming from the remaining two days of the tournament.
