A superb performance in the second block of the Girl's Team event allowed Singapore to clinch the silver medal of the 1st Asian Youth Games 2009 behind champion, Korea on Saturday afternoon.

Singapore's Darshini Krishna, Ilma Nur Jannah, Anthea Soh and New Hui Fen, who was third in yesterday's first block, managed to overhaul second-placed Japan, with a scintillating 928 in their final game to take home a well-earned silver.

**JetGrey** · 04-07-2009, 08:07 PM

The boys also have done well to up their game and clinch another silver medal for the country. That makes it 2 Gold, 2 Silver and 1 Bronze for Singapore just from bowling alone.

**live4keggling** · 04-07-2009, 11:01 PM

Let's all wish them a great day tomorrow for the Master.

Jiayou !!!!

What make you so sure that the Malaysia team is the highest competitor among the Asian Youths?

Too bad they are not here and we will never know till the next bowling event.

Nope, I don't think so. Bowling is something you can judge based on the scores, not like soccer or other games where they compete against each other to see who wins. Hui Fen did very well in the first two events, posting 230 averages, and nothing should take that glory away from her.

erms cos i think from singapore open lol

In bowling, I don't think you can really use other competitions as a gauge. Yes, of course M'sia has really good bowlers, but that 230 average would be really hard to beat. And you can see that it's going on. As Hui Fen drops, Darshini takes over her place at the top.

Storm · 06-07-2009, 11:24 AM

results from other tournaments is not wised to be used as a gauge as oiling patterns for each different tournament differs,the overall certified of a bowler should be used as a gauge instead,reason being some patterns are really high scoring patterns whereas some are low scoring ones,hence the reason why when a bowler wants to play in a big scale tournament,the bowler is usually required to produce a certified average certification from their respective nsa.

on a side note,considering the fact that the ayg is held here,dont you think that there might be chances that the local bowlers know whats the oiling pattern like way ahead of the other bowlers from the other countries?

I saw the interview on the Singapore boy who won the sailing compeition even before the final lap was played the next day. In the interview, the boy mention that luck was not a factor in him winning the compeition, he knew the route pretty well because he has been sailing that route for the last 5 years!! The only thing that he need to get it right is on his preparation on his boat and being fit on the race day.

Is sailing part of olympics?

**live4keggling** · 06-07-2009, 02:27 PM

Most of time the host of the Asian Games has certain advantage over the rest.
Having said that, the participant must also put in the effort and necessary skills to bring in the medals.
Nothing is given in any tournament, you have to work for it.

sailing is part of olympic games

and cos of this unlevel playing field as knowing of lane conditions by host country has made it one of the reasons why bowling is not in the olympics...its like cheating to a certain extend...
host country gets to know lane condition and practise on the tournament lanes beforehand.....

just like when a normal bowler is familiar with the usual oiling a bowling center has,has definitely got more advantage over a bowler who seldom bowls at the same location......

i am not trying to put down any bowlers,credits are still given to bowlers who win/participate in it but than would it be better if they have a fair playing field to determine who is really the best bowler around?
rather than having the environmental and lane condition advantage over the rest?

**The Uprising** · 06-07-2009, 02:41 PM

congrats to the young bowlers! jia you!
