Eain Yow gives Malaysia 5th gold in Asian Games
The national squash champion beats India's Abhay Singh, and qualifies for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.
National squash champion Ng Eain Yow secured Malaysia's fifth gold medal at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games by defeating India's Abhay Singh in the singles final. Held at the Nagoya Kinjo Futo Arena, Eain Yow claimed victory with scores of 11-9, 11-5, 11-5. The defending champion, currently ranked 18th in the world, edged out the 24th-ranked Abhay Singh.
This win brings Malaysia closer to achieving its goal of six gold medals at the event. Malaysia's prospects of reaching the six-gold target are further enhanced by the upcoming match between national women's singles champion S Sivasangari and another Indian competitor, Anahat Singh. Ranked 5th globally, Sivasangari is favored to win against the 17th-ranked Anahat, and a victory would secure Malaysia's sixth gold medal and qualify her for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.
