The Republic of Korea won gold in the women's team of six bowling category at the Bowling Center in Jakabaring Sport City, South Sumatra, on Friday.

The Korean players — Baek Seungja, Han Byul, Kim Hyun Mi, Lee Yeonji, Ryu Seoyeon and Lee Nayoung, achieved the highest score of 8,338.

In second place, Malaysia won silver with a score 8,149, with Chinese Taipei coming in third to take bronze with a score of 7,969.

Meanwhile, Indonesia failed to win a medal as it finished in fifth place with a score of 7,950.

The Indonesian players in this category comprised Sharon Adelia Liman Santoso, Putty Insavila Armein, Alisha Nabila Larasati, Aldila Indryati, Nadia Pramanik Nurmalina and Tannya Roumimper.

Tannya Roumimper and her team almost won the bronze medal and were only 19 pins behind Chinese Taipei.

"The Indonesian team was 19 pins behind Chinese Taipei in third place, only the last two throws from Sharon and Alisha failed to knock down all the pins," said Indonesia team manager, Ronny Arnold Mandagi.

During the competition, which lasted until Friday night, young bowler Nadia Pramanik performed very well with a score of 1,494.

In her two appearances in the women's trio and women's team of six, Nadia was more relaxed.

With this failure, it has become even more difficult for the Indonesian bowling team to realize its target of two gold medals at the 2018 Asian Games.

There are still three events left, with the men's team of six competition to be held on Saturday (Aug. 25).

Meanwhile, bowlers from Malaysia and the Republic of Korea scored pretty evenly in their team of six contest.

It was a tight contest, with Malaysia slightly behind on 5,431, while the Republic of Korea led with a score of 5.446.

The Republic of Korea stayed away from the fifth game, before finishing the rival's resistance with 189 pins.

The Chinese Taipei women's team also performed fairly consistently on the third day. They dropped athletes Chang Yuh Sun, Pan Yufen, Chou Chiacen, Tsai Hsinyi, Huang Chiungyao, and Wang Yating.

Thus, bowling medals were evenly distributed among Malaysia, the Republic of Korea and Japan with one gold each. In addition, Malaysia won two silver medals.

The men's team of six competition will be held on Saturday (Aug. 25).
