PHILIPPINE karate’s poster girl is all set and ready for the Doha Asian Games next month.
Gretchen Malalad, the three-time Southeast Asian Games gold medalist, kicked her way to a gold in the second Korea Open karate championship held last weekend in Busan, South Korea.
The 26-year old Malalad, competing in her first international stint this year, ruled the +65 kg. individual kumite event as she overwhelmed her Vietnamese opponent in the finals, 7-2.
Malalad made it to the gold medal round after trouncing her Korean foe in the semifinals, 6-0.
Malalad, accompanied by national coach David Lay, was the Philippines’ lone entry in the six-nation competition.
“Her victory showed that she’s ready for the Asian Games and I’m confident that Gretchen will deliver for us,” said Philippine Karate Federation head Ed Ponce.
The 5-foot-7 former beauty pageant entry hopes to surpass her bronze medal in Busan Asiad four years ago despite competing with a shoulder injury she suffered midway in the tournament.
