Jones Inso got a share of the limelight in wushu men’s taijiquan-taijijian all-around on Monday, generating another bronze medal for the Philippines in the 19th Asian Games (Asiad) where one medal bet suffered an unexpected loss in the pool but vowed to bounce back.
The 26-year-old veteran taolu specialist Inso clinched the podium spot behind China’s Gao Haonan and Hong Kong’s Hui Tak Yan with a combined effort of 9.746 points in the taijiquan event and 9.470 in the taijijian discipline.

One of four late PBA standouts tapped by interim management as contingency measures for the 19th Asian Games, Perez cut short his vacation to join the training squad during its short camp at Inspire Sports Academy in Laguna.

The Tokyo Olympics middleweight bronze medalist, forced to fight in a heavier weight at 80 kilograms here, has to get Vietnam’s Nguyen Manh Cuong out of the way in their quarterfinals duel on Tuesday at Hangzhou Gymnasium.
