Sailing squad meet prediction of two gold medals

LANGKAWI: The national sailing camp has met their expectations of two gold in the men's International 420 and International 470 at the National Sailing Complex here.
Sailing duo Muhammad Uzair Amin Mohd Yusof and Naquib Eiman Shahrin obtained 13 penalty points to clinch the gold while two Thai pairs took the silver and bronze medals.
The Malaysian sailors also repeated their success in the same event at the 2015 Singapore SEA Games.
In the men's International 470 category, Mohammad Faizal Norizan and Ahmad Syukri Abdul Aziz collected 17 penalty points for the gold while Navee Thamsoontorm/ Nut Burmarasri of Thailand picked up the silver with 28 penalty points and the bronze went to Philippines' Emerson Villenia/Lester Troy Tayong with 41 penalty points.
However, Malaysia lost the gold they won in the women's International 470 at the 28th SEA Games two years ago after coming in second in the race. — Bernama
