Indonesian lawn bowls athlete, I Wayan Damai, won the B6 men's singles class bronze medal or polio wheelchair at the 2018 Asian Para Games. The medal was won after collecting eight points from five matches. In this class, the Korean athlete Chunkyu Im won Gold Medal with 13 points, then the silver medal was won by Malaysian athlete, Norfirzan, with nine points. Wayan's achievements in lawn bowls were really unexpected. Many opponents did not think that Wayan as a new name in the sport was able to play very well. In a special interview with Voice of Indonesia in Jakarta on Wednesday (October 10), the Korean athlete Chunkyu Im admitted he was frustrated when facing Wayan.

"Damai is an athlete who has just been involved in lawn bowl sports. So I didn't expect that he was a good player. But, when I competed with him, he really played well. His game frustated me. But with the experience that I have, I was finally able to deal with it, said Wayan.

Chunkyu Im itself must be satisfied to get the 12-12 series when facing Wayan in the 90th match or the seventh match on the fourth day of the 2018 Asian Para Games. Lawn Bowls is a sport that is not so popular in Indonesia. Lawn Bowls are challenging sports. The player tries to roll a flat ball, called a bowl, as close as possible to a smaller ball called a jack. This sport looks similar to bowling, but bowling uses Pin as its target. (VOI/Rezha/AHM)
