Malaysian riders safe as typhoon disrupts Asian Games schedule
KUALA LUMPUR: The threat of approaching Typhoon Dujuan has forced the Asian Games organisers to postpone the eventing competition at the Tokyo Equestrian Park on Monday, but it has not disrupted the Malaysian team’s competition schedule.
Malaysian equestrian athletes remain unaffected by Typhoon Dujuan, according to Tokyo organizers. The storm forced postponement of the eventing competition at the Tokyo Equestrian Park on Monday, but Malaysia's scheduled competitions are unaffected. Japan Meteorological Agency warned that typhoon could bring flash floods and rain-related disasters, particularly in central Japan.
Malaysia's equestrian team consists of N. Shoorendran in the jumping event and Diani Lee Cheng Ni in the women's individual dressage. Shoorendran will compete on October 3, while Diani will compete on September 25. Team manager Yap Jun Sze said both athletes have arrived or will arrive in Tokyo, with no disruption to their competition schedules.
