Malaysia's squash player Ng Eain Yow secured his country's fifth gold medal at the Asian Games 2026, successfully defending his men's singles title in Nagoya, Japan. Eain Yow, 28, defeated India's Abhay Singh 11-9, 11-5, 11-5 in the final at the Nagoya Kinjofuto Arena. This victory also secured Eain Yow an early berth at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games (LA28).
