Jones Inso showed fine form to win the bronze in the men’s taijiquan-taijijian all-around event, providing his country its second medal in the ongoing Asian Games.HANGZHOU – Jones Inso of wushu delivered a bronze medal for Team Philippines on a sunny Monday afternoon when others tried very hard, but failed, to land on the coveted podium in the 19th Asian Games here.
Inso’s feat, somehow, eased the pain of multiple losses suffered by Team Philippines in rowing, judo, taekwondo, swimming and boxing, which is relying heavily on Tokyo Olympics silver and bronze medalist Nesthy Petecio and Eumir Marcial. Standing just above four feet, Mazel Paris Alegado, based in California, showed the biggest heart, and won the adulation of her peers — older and taller — in the sport that’s making a grand debut in the Asiad.
Alex Eala of tennis found her strokes early and never gave Pakistan’s Sarah Ibrahim Khan a chance in a 6-0, 6-0 win that should give the precocious 18-year-old the boost in her drive toward the medal round.
