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.
In a thrilling squash match at the Nagoya Kinjo Futo Arena, national champion Ng Eain Yow secured Malaysia's fifth gold medal at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. The defending champion defeated India's Abhay Singh 11-9, 11-5, 11-5, advancing to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics simultaneously. Ranked 18th in the world, Eain Yow outperformed Abhay, who is ranked 24th.
Malaysia aims for six golds in total; the sixth will likely come from squash's women's singles champion, S Sivasangari. Ranked 5th globally, Sivasangari faces India's Anahat Singh, ranked 17th, in the next match. A victory for Sivasangari would also secure her spot in the 2028 Olympics.
