Wed, 30 Nov 2005

MANILA: Frans Paul won the bronze in the men's modified practical pistol shooting competition on Monday, fulfilling the target of the National Sports Council (KONI) for these Games.

Frans compiled 855 points at PSC-PNSA Shooting Range, with compatriot Anang Yulianto in seventh with 714.

Gold went to Thailand's Kasem Khamhaeng (860), followed by Singapore's Chow Wei An (855), Antara news service reported..

Team manager Hendra Djaya was pleased with the medal, but said the country's best chance of gold came with Bary Agustini Said in the 10-meter air pistol event.

"We're clearly still below expecations for a gold, especially as the host has changed a lot of the rules by using various excuses," Hendra said. -- JP
