THE Philippine’s CENDY ASUSANO collected her third gold medal in the on-going 9th ASEAN PARA Games being held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The 27-year old Asusano topped the women’s F54 shot put event with a throw of 5.5 meters which she achieved in the fourth of her six attempts.
The pride of Bicolandia was simply too good for the rest of the field – she submitted the four best throws and six of the top seven.
The silver medal was collected by Thi Ngoc Thuy of Vietnam whose best effort was almost half a meter shorter than the golden throw of Asusano.
Another Pinoy F54 athlete, Marites Burce, went home with the bronze.
Asusano, a first time competitor in the ASEAN PARA Games, had earlier won the gold medals in the F54 discuss throw and the F54 javelin throw events. | Angel Atienza- PTV Sports
