| Teenager emerges tops in girls’ Under-15 and Under-17 foil contests Posted: 10 Apr 2013 06:46 AM PDT IT WAS double joy for foil exponent Tyanne Fong of Kuala Lumpur at the recent national fencing championships held at the National Sports Council in Bukit Jalil last month. The 15-year-old Sri Cempaka, Damansara Heights student emerged as the champion in the both the girls' Under-15 and Under-17 foil contests. In the Under-15 age-group, Tyanne flexed her domination by chalking up five wins in the group stages and advanced to the elimination round as the second seed. Tyanne did not face much difficulty in the knock-out stages and went on to end the gallant run of teammate Brittni Tye from Kuala Lumpur with a 15-10 win in the final. Earlier, Brittni created an upset in the top half of the draw when she upstaged top seed Nurfatiha Jalani of Johor with a 15-11 victory for a place in the final. In the girls' Under-17 foil final, Tyanne scored an untroubled 15-6 win over teammate Daevina Summugam of Kuala Lumpur. Despite maintaining her winning streak in the girls' Under-17 foil, Tyanne needed a big push to match her peers at international junior meets, said Touche Fencing Club chief coach C.W. Mok. "She has the advantage and holds the edge against other challengers in her age-group at the national level. Her immediate aim is to stay competitive against her peers in the South-East Asia region," Mok added. Earlier this year, Tyanne struggled to make an impact at the South-East Asia Fencing Federation (SEAFF) cadet (Under-17) and junior (Under-20) championships in Brunei. "It is going to be an interesting journey for her to bridge the gap against the leading contenders especially from Singapore and Vietnam. She should be ready to put up more respectable performances in the cadet section at regional level within the next two years. Besides improving her combative skills, she needs to develop a stronger physique. She is still not up to mark with her current stamina and strength. "For her to gain exposure sparring against tougher opponents, we are planning for her to join an international training stint as part of the club's year-end programme," said Mok, adding that they were also considering to acquire the services of a physical trainer to beef up their trainees' physical condition. Currently, Tyanne is training up to three times a week and she is vying for a place to feature in the upcoming Malaysia Games in Kuala Lumpur from June 28 to July 7. > BOYS' UNDER-12 - Foil: Ashwin Selvan (Kul) bt Megat Muhammad Aiman Mirza (Kul) 10-5 - Sabre: Jireh Gan (Kul) bt Jack Chua Ian Xian (Kul) 10-1 UNDER-15 - Epee: Muhd Mirza Merican (Sel) bt Mohd Isa Tarmizi (Sel) 15-14 - Foil: Bryan Mok (Pen) bt Tristan Cheng (Kul) 15-10 UNDER-17 - Epee: Mohd Ammaraluddin Daud (Joh) bt Chung Hanwen (Kul) 15-6 - Foil: Megat Zuhril Megat Zariman (Ter) bt Daniel Abu Bakar (Joh) 15-8 - Sabre: Calvin Ong (Put) bt Kua Kim Yong (Sel) 15-6 > GIRLS' UNDER-12 - Foil: Jeanne Leia Alis Junady (Kul) bt Julia Loh (Kul) 10-4 - Sabre: Jerica Jemima Chen (Kul) bt Kuan Jin Xuan (Sel) 10-2 UNDER-15 - Epee: Megan Pat Jeng Yi (Sel) bt Siti Syahirah Shiki Mohd Shazli (Sel) 15-14 - Foil: Tyanne Fong (Kul) bt Brittni Tye (Kul) 15-10 UNDER-17 - Epee: Fatin Syariqah Samsudin (Joh) bt Zaharah Sailan Abdullah (Ter) 15-10 - Foil: Tyanne Fong (Kul) bt Daevina Summugam (Kul) 15-6 - Sabre: Joanne Jalizha Chen (Sel) bt Habibah Abidin (Joh) 15-0 > OPEN WOMEN'S - Epee: Nur Aina Jalil (Joh) bt Alethea Woo (Kul) 15-13 - Foil: Natasha Ezzra Abu Bakar (Joh) bt Nur Amalina Tukiman (Sel) 15-5 - Sabre: Ainul Latifah Mohd Taib (Joh) bt Joanne Jalizha Chen (Sel) 15-12 MEN'S - Epee: Joshua Koh (Sel) bt Noor Nashriq Adli Noor Jali (Nse) 15-10 - Foil: Izzul Shawal Shamsudiin (Prk) bt Mohd Aqil Anuar (Joh) 15-9 - Sabre: Nurul Ariezzat Nazree (Nse) bt Adam Nicholas (Sab) 15-7 |
