Seasoned shooter Johnathan aims for Asian Games medal
KUALA LUMPUR: Johnathan Wong has come a long way since his Asian Games debut in 2014, and the national shooter believes his growing experience could finally carry him onto the podium at Aichi-Nagoya.
Kuala Lumpur: Veteran shooter Johnathan Wong looks to finally earn Malaysia's first Asian Games medal since 2014 after steadily improving on the continental stage. After placing 22nd in 2014, Johnathan progressed to the 10m air pistol final at Hangzhou 2022, finishing sixth. With two Olympic appearances under his belt, Johnathan enters the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, September 19-October 4, as a seasoned competitor.
Despite facing formidable opposition from China, South Korea, India, and other Southeast Asian nations improving, Johnathan emphasizes the importance of his own performance over medal-winning, stating, "I will try to do my best. Of course, everybody dreams of winning gold and I will work towards that, but the most important thing is to produce my best performance this time."
