Atiwat Lands 4th in Asian Championship.

The country’s No 1 scored 75.26 points, 3.14 points behind winner Keyaki Ike of Japan. S. Tanjung of India won the silver with a score of 78.8, followed by Kaede Yoshikawa of Japan with 77.58. Napat Vijitjarung, the other Thai athlete, came at 15^th with 62.18.

Athiwat bemoaned that weather condition deprived him off maximizing his effort.

“I have to wear thick sweater and gloves because of the cold condition. It was difficult for me to compete with those stuff and I made several mistakes as a consequence,” said Athiwat.

“However it’s a good experience from me as I need to compete more international events to qualify for the Olympics in 2020.”
