Asian Games, Shu Wai gets historic silver on vault
"Asian Games: Historic silver from Shu Wai" - http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2006/12/7/sports/16250720&sec=sports [quote]ARTISTIC gymnast Ng Shu Wai had blisters on his hands and opted out of the individual all-around finals. And his move paid off handsomely when he vaulted his way into the history books as the first Malaysian to win an Asian Games medal in gymnastics.

At the October World Championships in Aarhus, Denmark, he capped a credible performance by finishing 18th out of 230 competitors in the vault. The result saw him finish as the third best placed Asian after Yerimbetov and Japan's Takehito Mori.[/quote] Only 3 events max per gymnast allowed, instead of the 6 events!
