Gun salute for Bibiana, kick in the gut for Syafiq

KUALA LUMPUR: Shooter Bibiana Ng’s (pic) wish to compete at the Asian Games was granted by the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) but they shot down the appeal for the inclusion of SEA Games taekwondo gold medallist Syafiq Zuber as the contingent for Hangzhou was finalised yesterday.

Bibiana, 46, met the qualifying mark of 571 in the women’s 10m pistol at the Tun Haniff Cup in January but the veteran had to wait until the last minute for her inclusion under category A.
