The silver medal went to Filipino shooter Michael Angelo Fernandes with 236.1 points, while Indonesia’s Sulthanul Aulia Maruf claimed bronze with 231.1 points.
Wong said his priority was to continue motivating and inspiring his teammates and the national contingent. “It doesn’t matter to me whether I defended the title or not.
