Malaysia matches all-time Asian Games gold record — now 10 is in sight

Malaysia has matched its all-time Asian Games gold record with nine medals, following three golds secured on Day 14 of the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Games. The victories came from track cycling ace Datuk Mohd Azizulhasni Awang in the men’s keirin, as well as the women’s and men’s squash teams. Malaysia now needs just one more gold to set a new record at the Games.

The final two opportunities to achieve this will be the men’s doubles padel and men’s hockey finals, with the Speedy Tigers set to face defending champions India in the men’s hockey event.
