Gymnasts fuel PH campaign
Kuala Lumpur, Indonesia–
Two gymnasts, a wushu artist
and a fencer delivered gold gold
medals on Tuesday, fuelling the
Philippine campaign midway
through the 29th Southeast
Asian Games here.
Veteran Reyland Capellan
and rising star Kaitlin de
Guzman reigned supreme in
their respective events in the
gymnastics competition at the
Malaysia International Trade and
Exhibition Center here.
Capellan,
23,
a
gold
medalist in the Singapore SEA
Games, overcame a faulty start
to finish with 13.950 points en
route to winning the men’s floor
exercise event. He bested Zul
Bahrin Bin Mat Asri of Malaysia
and Tikumporn Surintornta of
Thailand, who registered 13.750
and 13.6700 points to settle for
the silver and bronze medals,
respectively.
Capellan said he was so tense
at the start and lost his balance.
When he regained his composure,
he performed his routine like it
was a walk in the park.
“I’m so happy that I am able
to contribute to the gold-medal
production of the Philippines,”
said Capellan, a former member
of the Centro Escolar University
pep squad who also campaigned
in the World Artistic Gymnastics
in Glasgow two years ago.
“We were not expecting her
to win (the gold medal) since this
is just her first SEA Games,”
said the elder Dela Cruz. “All
we were hoping is for her to
qualify to the finals. This victory
is a major surprise. That’s
why we’re so happy with this
achievement.”
Also emerging with a gold
medal on a day where 45 gold
medals were disputed were
wushu artist Agatha Won and
fencer Brennan Wayne Louie ●
