Aiman Lim’s excitement at winning the boys’ singles title at the Asian Junior Tenpin Bowling Championships on Monday was mixed with a tinge of disappointment. The 18-year-old had just knocked down 1,373 pinfalls to become the first Singaporean...
The Temasek Polytechnic student had topped the first squad of bowlers but had to wait as the second squad completed their six games before he was confirmed champion.
Aiman had got off to a good start, hitting scores of 225, 222, 247 and 255 in his first four games, but admitted to feeling nervous going into the final two games. “My teammates were trying to keep my emotions in check, making sure that I was calm and cool so that I can make my shots while my coaches would help me find out what the lanes are like so that I can score my best.”
He said: “It’s a team event and I feel like we all as a team should get a gold medal and that’s what we deserve for putting all the hard work together.”
