8th July, Bangkok: Baek Seungwoo-Park Soowan of Korea and Nurul Anis Nabila-Anis Hannani Romzi of Malaysia bagged the Boy's and Girl's Doubles gold medals at the 21st Asian Youth Tenpin Bowling Championships on Saturday evening.

Baek and Park, who led the opening squad yesterday with a commanding 2600 total, never looked in danger of being overhauled by two other Boy's Doubles squads that were contested today at Blu-O Ryhthm & Bowl, Ratchayothin.

Jeremy Wong and Amen Yuen of Hong Kong topped the second squad but failed to even make the top 3 when the scores of the two squads were combined.

When the third and final squad got underway, Oman's Haitham Lutfi Alharthy and Musaab Salim Aladawi looked promising after setting a cracking pace to lead Kuwait's second pair of Abdulrzzaq Mohammad and Hassan Qasem with Thailand's second pair in third.

The Kuwaiti pair stepped up their pace to take over the running for the next two games before Malaysia's second pair of Tsen Fan Yew and Singles silver medallist, Muahammad Hariz Adlan moved into the lead to mount a serious challenge.

Meanwhile, Korea looked set to sweep the Doubles event when their second pair of Singles gold medallist, Choi Yurin and Park Sunwoo took to the lanes in the final squad. Choi and Park led the second Philippines' pair of Kassandra Denise Yap and Danielle Escolano and then the second Malaysian pair of Nurul Anis and Anis Hannani.

The leader began to stretch their lead from 64 pins to as much as 133 at the halfway mark with Malaysia the only serious challenger trailing in second. Nurul Anis and Anis Hannani upped their pace to reduce the gap to 72 pins after the fourth game and then to just 16 pins going into the sixth and final game.

Choi shot a cool 222 but her partner crumbled to a lowly 168 to end with just 390 for a total of 2504. The Malaysian fired a superb 446 to snatch victory and claimed the gold medal with 2544 leaving the Koreans settling for the silver.

Singles bronze medallists, Arianne Tay and Colleen Pee of Singapore, who topped the standings after the second squad, held on to clinch the bronze medal with 2488. The first Malaysian pair of Adelia Nur Irwan Syazalee and Nur Hazirah Ramli missed the podium in fourth position with 2443.
