PARA-BOWLING coach Steven Teng has revealed that some of his bowlers in the B9 category (disability in lower half of body) can put to shame able-bodied professional keglers on the lanes. “However, para-bowlers do not post perfect scores regularly as compared to able-bodied keglers.”Steven has picked 28 bowlers for the Asean Para Games where the target is to win 13 out of the 18 gold medals on offer. Steven, who is from Kuala Lumpur, had also coached able-bodied bowlers in the past. He was re-designated to the national junior squad in 2013-15, before he left to oversee the national para-bowlers. Steven said he uses the standard MTBC training manual for able-bodied athletes as a guide to coach his para-bowlers.
