SINGAPORE ON COURSE FOR BEST SHOWING
The Straits Times
|July 31, 2022
With 2 golds and 7 finals to come at silat world meet, team could eclipse 2018 haul
The Republic’s exponents have a chance to record their best showing at the World Pencak Silat Championships, following two artistic gold medals won on Friday night and seven more athletes set to compete in the tanding (match) finals today.
Singapore’s best performance at the world meet was in 2018 when, on home soil, its athletes claimed seven gold, six silver and seven bronze medals.
The biennial competition, which is being held in Melaka, Malaysia, returns this year after a four-year hiatus – the 2020 edition did not take place due to the pandemic.
Singapore have racked up two titles so far courtesy of Iqbal Abdul Rahman in the male artistic singles, as well as the female artistic trio of Amirah Sahrin and Iffah Batrisyia Noh – who are both 19 – and Nur Ashikin Zulkifli, 22.
