Sivasangari makes it 6

Malaysia achieved its sixth gold medal at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games when squash sensation S Sivasangari clinched the women's individual final. The Kedah-born athlete secured her victory with a 11-4, 11-4, 11-7 win over India's Anahat Singh at the Nagoya Kinjo Futo Arena. This triumph not only added to Malaysia's impressive medal haul but also secured Sivasangari a spot in the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.

Earlier in the day, fellow Malaysian Ng Eain Yow won Malaysia's fifth gold by defeating another Indian opponent, Abhay Singh, with a 11-9, 11-5, 11-5 scoreline. Malaysia's medal count stands at six golds, two silvers, and eight bronzes, with medals earned in karate, sepak takraw, and e-sports.
