Singaporean wins bronze medal
In a way, the meeting of two Singaporeans would ultimately see one advancing into the semifinals and thus assuring Singapore at least a bronze medal. Ng easily ousted her less-experience team-mate, 202-143 in the all-Singapore encounter.
But Ng's chance of making further progress was cut short as she went down to No. 2 seed, Maki Sano of Japan, 172-211 in the second semifinals to settle for the bronze medal. Topseed, Son Yun Hee beat fourth-seed, Tannya Roumimper of Indonesia, 206-192 in the other semi.
Son went on to beat the Japanese, 193-158 to win the first gold medal for her country, Korea after her team-mate, Choi Bok Eum had settled for the silver medal in yesterday's men's finals.
Daphne Tan finished 16th in the earlier Singles event with 1159 while Gina Lim could only finish 23rd with 1137. The women will resume competition on Wednesday, November 4th with the Doubles event.
