Chew expressed confidence after registering positive results in several local and international compet it ions recent ly and undergoing 45 days of intensive training with the National squad in South Korea.
The University Malaya student who is pursuing a Sports Science degree failed to finish on the podium at the Singapore SEA Games.
“Winning or losing will depend on the form of the day because it wil l be individual events. Team events are not contested in the SEA Games 2017,” he told Bernama when met at the 41st South East Asia (SEASA) Shooting Championships at the National Shooting Range in Subang, here yesterday.
He added that the presence of South Korean coach Park Sangsoon since November last year had brought about a drastic changes in training which resulted in an improvement in my technique, therefore the intensive training in South Korea would help improve my ability to collect more points in the 10m Air Pistol and 50m Pistol events.
