historic silver medal for Malaysia

This guy gets a lot of press. I see articles about him all over the internet.

Congratulations.

Ng Shu Wai had blisters on his hands and opted out of the individual all-around finals. And his move paid off handsomely when he vaulted his way into the history books as the first Malaysian to win an Asian Games medal in gymnastics.

Shu Wai bagged a silver in the vault final at Aspire Hall 2 yesterday with a average of 16.487.

It could have been a gold had Shu Wai executed a better first vault.

Ri Se-gwang gave North Korea their first-ever gymnastics gold medal with a flawless second attempt of 16.675 for a winning average of 16.625.

Kazakhstan’s Yernar Yerimbetov, who was fourth in vault in the World Championships and the first to start yesterday, took bronze on 16.300.
