But I am still grateful I was able to represent the country here,&quot; said Napolis, who got the Philippines&#x27; first medal in Chengdu after three days of competition. Earlier in the day, Raph Trinidad came tantalizingly close to bagging the bronze in the cable men&#x27;s wakeboard event, with only a late mistake in the final stunt denying his goal.The Filipino athlete had a fantastic stretch in the second run before a misread of his approach on the aerial trick proved costly to his medal ambition.Trinidad finished fourth with 56.60 points. Frenchman Loic Deschaux topped the competition with a solid performance of 95.00 points, while Germans Max Milde (92.80) and Florian Weiherer (65.00) got the silver and bronze, respectively.
