Asian Games 2026: Malaysia two golds away from six-gold target as squash finals loom

The Malaysian contingent at the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games is two gold medals away from reaching its target of six golds.

Following recent successes, including a gold medal from the sepak takraw men's team regu event, hopes are high for squash players S.

Sivasangari and Ng Eain Yow, who have advanced to their respective singles finals.

Despite some setbacks, the team remains focused on key upcoming events to achieve their goal.

NAGOYA, Sept 27 — The Malaysian contingent is now just two gold medals away from fulfilling its target of six golds at the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games, following the eighth day which saw the national camp further strengthen its position through the success and advancement of athletes in several major events.

After the fourth gold was secured by the sepak takraw squad through the men’s team regu event yesterday, hopes of achieving the six-gold target are now directed towards several prospects who are still continuing their challenges in the final stages of the games.

The target of six gold medals was set by the contingent before the games began.

S. Sivasangari and Ng Eain Yow stand out as main bets as both successfully advanced to their respective singles finals, thereby opening up opportunities for Malaysia to add two more gold medals from squash as both players are also defending champions who will compete in tomorrow’s showdown match.

Despite these positive developments, the national camp also faced some less favourable outcomes, including the mixed doubles squash pair C. Ameenshenraj-Rachel Arnold securing bronze after losing in the semi-finals, while Pandelela Rinong-Nur Eilisha Rania missed the podium after finishing fourth in the women’s 10m synchronised platform diving event.

In athletics, attention shifted to Danish Iftikhar Muhammad Roslee, who advanced to the men’s 200m final, providing another positive development for the national contingent following several less encouraging results in sprint events.

With two more golds needed, the Malaysian camp is now entering the decisive phase to realise the target set before the games, with primary focus directed towards the squash finals and several remaining events. — Bernama

马来西亚代表团在2026年爱知-名古屋亚运会上距离六枚金牌的目标还差两枚。

继近期取得佳绩，包括获得藤球男子团体赛金牌之后，人们对壁球运动员S寄予厚望。

Sivasangari 和 Ng Eain Yow 都已晋级各自的单打决赛。

尽管遇到了一些挫折，但团队仍然专注于即将到来的关键赛事，以实现他们的目标。

名古屋，9月27日——经过第八天的训练，马来西亚代表团在爱知-名古屋2026年亚运会上凭借运动员在几项重大赛事中的成功和进步，进一步巩固了其地位，目前距离实现六枚金牌的目标仅差两枚金牌。

昨天，藤球队在男子团体赛中获得第四枚金牌后，人们将希望寄托在几位仍在比赛最后阶段继续挑战的选手身上，力争实现六枚金牌的目标。

该代表团在奥运会开始前就设定了获得六枚金牌的目标。

S. Sivasangari 和 Ng Eain Yow 脱颖而出，成为夺冠热门，两人均成功晋级各自的单打决赛，为马来西亚赢得两枚壁球金牌创造了机会，因为这两位选手都是卫冕冠军，他们将在明天的决赛中一决高下。

尽管取得了这些积极的进展，但国家队也面临一些不太理想的结果，包括混双壁球组合 C. Ameenshenraj-Rachel Arnold 在半决赛失利后获得铜牌，而 Pandelela Rinong-Nur Eilisha Rania 在女子 10 米双人跳台比赛中获得第四名，未能登上领奖台。

在田径方面，人们的注意力转移到了丹麦选手伊夫蒂哈尔·穆罕默德·罗斯利身上，他晋级了男子200米决赛，这为该国队在短跑项目中取得的几个不太令人鼓舞的成绩带来了又一个积极的进展。

马来西亚队还需要两枚金牌才能实现赛前设定的目标，目前正进入决胜阶段，重点放在壁球决赛和其他几个项目中。——马新社
