The 28-year-old, who previously won the gold at the Hangzhou 2022 edition, demonstrated a composed performance to secure his second consecutive gold medal. This victory marks Malaysia's fifth medal at the Asian Games, following two golds in karate and one each in esports and sepak takraw. Eain Yow's win also secured him an early qualification spot for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, with the Kuala Lumpur-born player boasting a perfect record of four wins against Abhay in their previous encounters.",
