JUNIOR standout Alexis Sy provided the lone gold medal the country won in the 16th Asian Youth Tenpin Bowling Championship held at the International Bowling Center in Nasr City in Cairo, Egypt recently.
Sy, the former Philippine Open champion, tallied 247 and 246, respectively to finish with a total of 493 points, and edged out Korean Son Hye-Rin (389) for the gold medal in the girls’ masters event.

Sy made it to the stepladder finals with a total of 3694 pins, scoring 1837 on second block as opposed to 1737 in the first block.
Other medalists for the team mentored by former world masters champion Biboy Rivera and Boy Florencio were Kenneth Chua (boy’s masters), Janine Kuwahara (girls singles), Kenneth Chua and Enzo Hernandez (boys doubles) and the quartet of Sy, Kuwahara, Krizziah Tabora and Patricia Tajo (girl’s team), all of them won the silver in their respective events.
