BUENOS AIRES<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 Filipino archer Nicole Tagle got a consistent partner in Hendrik Oun of Estonia to advance to the quarterfinals of the mixed international team event in the 2018 Youth Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

The pair of Tagle and Oun defeated the lower-ranked duo of Isabela Bassi of Chile and Ravien Dalpatadu of Sri Lanka in a shoot off, 5-4, to set up a meeting with Alyssia Tromans-Ansell of Great Brittain and Reza Shabani of Iran in the succeeding phase of the Olympic-round format.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a good partner in Hendrik. To advance, we have to be consistent again in the next round,\u201d said Tagle, who had a combined score of 19 points against the 17 points of Bassi and Dalpatadu in the shoot off.<\/p>\n

Tagle and Oun gave Bassi and Dalpatadu the first set of the 16-arrow four-set before seizing the next two frames for a 2-1 advantage to the delight of Filipino crowd that includes chef de mission Jonne Go and Josephine Joy Reyes, head of the Philippine Sports Commission\u2019s medical and scientific athletes services department.<\/p>\n

Both, however, shot a pair of 7s in the final set, allowing their opponent to storm back by scoring 36 points to force the playoff.<\/p>\n

Ranked fourth in the mixed event, Tromans-Ansell and Shabani crushed Wian Roux of South Africa and Himani Himani of India, 5-1, to also make into the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

No. 13 in the rankings, Tagle and Oun will shoot 16 arrows in four sets during the quarters and hope that Tromans-Ansell and Shabani fumble along the way.<\/p>\n

The prized archer from Dumaguete City is aiming to follow the footsteps of Gab Moreno, the first Filipino to win a gold medal in the Youth Olympics after teaming up in a triumphant performance with Li Jiaman of China in the 2014 edition of the Games in Nanjing, China.<\/p>\n

Tagle, silver medalist in the women\u2019s recurve individual competition during the 2017 Southeast Asian Games in Kuala Lumpur, will again meet Tromans-Ansell in the women\u2019s individual round of 16 on Monday (Tuesday in Manila).<\/p>\n

Christian Tio will again wait for the winds to blow strong at the Club Nautico San Isidro for the races to resume and improve on his performance in men\u2019s kiteboarding.<\/p>\n

At fifth overall, the Filipino-Norwegian will miss the trip to the podium once organizers decide to cancel the races on the final day.<\/p>\n

Golfers Yuka Saso and Carl Janno Corpus fired a combined effort of 4-under 66 to join five other countries at 16th place at the start of the mixed team competition at the Hurlingham Club.\u00a0(PSC-POC PR)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
