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

The Malaysian contingent in the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games is two gold medals away from achieving its target of six golds. The national camp strengthened its position on the eighth day with the men's sepak takraw team securing the fourth gold. Malaysia's primary focus now lies in the squash finals, with S. Sivasangari and Ng Eain Yow, both defending champions, aiming to add two more gold medals.

However, the camp also faced setbacks, including the bronze medal in mixed doubles squash and a fourth-place finish in women's 10m synchronised platform diving. Danish Iftikhar Muhammad Roslee's advancement to the men's 200m final offers hope for Malaysia as the games enter a decisive phase.
