Kuala Lumpur, 25 January 2003
With the KLCC site of the Asian X Games V presented by Toyota filled to capacity, swarms of fans continued to queue at the front entrance this afternoon. With preliminary action taking place at both the park course and vert ramp, the place to be was the climbing wall. There the women rock jocks showed their stuff as they competed for the bouldering title.
Though it took Japan's Tomoko Ogawa six attempts to complete the bouldering route set in the semi-finals, she came out on top when it counted with a final score of 96.67%. She was followed by Korea's Kim Hyun-Jung with 92.82% and Australia's Samantha Berry also with 92.82% in the finals. All the women reached the top of the route on their second attempt.
The Men's Bouldering finals continues this evening.
Over at the Mines Resort and Spa, the wakeboarders hit the water for their final runs. In the end, Bunyalo Jumruang emerged the champion with a score of 40.39. New Zealand's Jeff Wetheral took silver with a score of 38.70 and Masato Takiwa added a bronze to Japan's medal count with a 32.84.
