Malaysia got the 2nd gold, but the rest faltered

It was equavelent to an international finals, between Nicol David and Low Wee Wern. Though We Wern tried her level best to overcome her opponent but Nicol showed that she is still strong to get the gold medal.

Nevertheless, there's no worries, as Wee Wern is ready to step into Nicol's shoes, as she is reducing the gap with the top players. In addition, Nicol is strong for 2 more years, thus, we have more titles to be earned for the country.

Nevertheless, for men section, veteran and 2 time gold medalist, could only manage a bronze. But he as the oldest player on the court. The worry was , no other national players could come close to semifinals. It's something that PSA must look into seriously, else, we wont even have medals for next asian games.

Sepak Takraw had bad start by loosing 2-1 to Indonesia. We were still making silly mistakes, including tekong could not kick the ball pass the net. The last gold was won in 1994. I think we need to wait for another 2 edition to get a gold medal for this sports.

Bowling too bowled blank when Malaysians were not on podium for both singles event. Nevertheless, the strength always in trios and team. We hope, we will get something golden outing from there.

Badminton as expected had bronze in team event, but lee chong wei could not take revenge on his world championship loss to Chen Long. Surprisingly, south Korea, beat China in finals and got the gold medal and Thomas cup winners, Japan was not even on the podium.

The worse thing, players like Chong Wei feng could not even match lin dan, which means, we really need a successor for lee chong wei.

For cycling, azizul only managed 4th place for sprint event. He was very close beating the Chinese for bronze medal but wrong strategy caused him a medal. Hope, we will deliver medal in keirin.

Shooting produced consolation results, where nor suriyani taibi achieved silver medal and her team got bronze in 10M rifle.

YB KJ is confident of achieving 8 gold medals, but for me, we can do more than that.
