Indonesian archer Erwina Safitri grabbed her third SEA Games archery
gold medal when she partnered compatriot Riau Agata Salsabila to victory
over Malaysian duo Cheng Chu Sian and Nurul Syafiqah Hashim in the
mixed recurve final on Friday.
“I did not expect to win another
gold medal. Our opponents in the final were tough because they are the
athletes who made it through to the 2012 London Olympics,” she said
while discussing her 137-133 win against the Malaysian pair, as quoted
by tempointeraktif.com.
Erwina, 18, who won her other two gold
medals in the individual and team recurve events, said she was pleased
with her achievement as she had not targeted to take part in the SEA
Games this year, her first major competition at an ASEAN level.
“From the beginning I had not set myself any targets,” she said.
In
making their way to the final, Erwina and Riau shrugged off a
formidable semifinal challenge from Vietnam, managing a narrow 142-141
win over their rivals.
