Thailand claim golds in jetski and sepak takraw
The Kingdom’s Asian Games athletes won two more gold medals from jetski and sepak takraw on Saturday morning.
After winning no events on Friday, Thai athletes started the second week in Jakarta with a gold medal in jetski roundabout 110 stock. Thirty-three-year-old Attapon Kunsa from Nong Khai was announced the winner just a few hours after countryman Phadit Buree from Maha Sarakham initially won the event. However, Attapon was promoted from the runner-up to the winner as Phadit was caught fouling in the last moto and had to be content with the silver.
