The expectations were so high, but Gian van Veen (21) was eliminated in the first round on his World Cup debut. Fellow debutant Man Lok Leung (24) threw a staggering number of eleven 180s and fought back well from a 2-0 deficit. The new crowd favorite from Hong Kong sent Van Veen home disillusioned with a 3-2 score.
