It was a day loaded with hope and promise for Singapore’s athletes at the Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea.

Shooter Jasmine Ser was competing in the 50m rifle 3 positions, her pet event which yielded a gold medal at this year’s Commonwealth Games.

And Singapore’s female bowlers, featuring a mix of top-ranked Asian Games medalists, were taking to the lanes in the doubles event, buoyed by Jazreel Tan’s silver in the singles on Wednesday.

In the end, neither delivered.

The Republic’s lone medal of the day was a bronze won by Gai Bin in the men’s 25m centre fire pistol.

Later that evening, Singapore’s bowling national head coach Remy Ong found himself making promises along the same lines after his female charges wound up empty-handed in the doubles event.

Jazreel Tan and New Hui Fen finished fourth out of 38 pairs with 2,447 pinfalls, while Cherie Tan and Shayna Ng placed sixth. Further back in 26th position were Joey Yeo and Daphne Tan.
