SEA Games: National gymnast Rachel Yeoh bags gold

HANOI: National gymnast Rachel Yeoh Li Wen has taken the gold medal for the uneven bars event with a superb routine that captivated the Vietnamese crowd at the Quan Ngoa Sports Palace on Sunday (May 15).

The 23-year-old Penangite scored 13.000 points, and what made the achievement even more memorable was the fact that she defeated favourites Rifda Irfanaluthfi of Indonesia and Aleah Finnegan of the Philippines.

In the 2019 Manila SEA Games, Rachel won bronze and recently retired Farah Ann Abdul Hadi won the gold for the event.

It is Rachel's second medal in the games. She earlier won bronze in the individual all-around on Saturday (May 14).
