Daniel Phouk will be Cambodia\u2019s first medalist at the ongoing Asian Youth Games in Bahrain. He has delivered the bronze medal for the Kingdom in the boy\u2019s 51-55kg pencak silat event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was comprehensively beaten 1-51 by Indonesian favourite Furgon Habbil Winata in the semi-finals but that does not matter as he now has the bronze in the bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daniel had received a bye in his opening bout and had qualified for the semi-finals without raising a sweat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However the gulf of difference between him and his Indonesian rival was clearly evident in a one-sided semi-final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As there is no fight off for the bronze, Daniel will relish the bronze in his debut at the Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furgon, who defeated Kazakhstan\u2019s Abdurakhman Abzhanov 74-30 in his first round match, will take on Abdulla Qassim of Bahrain in the final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Abdulla had received a bye in the first round. He was then gifted a place in the final after Pakistan\u2019s Abdullah Zaheer was disqualified and Tajikistan\u2019s Firdavs Bakhtibekdoza did not start in their first round tie yesterday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
