  "account": "Nagoya: Ng Eain Yow and S. Sivasangari secured their title defences at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, inspiring future Malaysian generations. Both players won their respective finals without dropping a set, beating India's Abhay Singh and Anahat Singh. Their victories qualified Malaysia for squash at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, fulfilling a long-awaited dream. Eain Yow, emotional after his gold medal win, expressed his hope to inspire Malaysia's future athletes, acknowledging his predecessors' efforts. Sivasangari, currently ranked fifth globally, also aims to reach the top three by season's end and potentially become world No. 1. Both players credited the Road to Gold (RTG) programme and the support of the Youth and Sports Ministry, National Sports Council, and National Sports Institute for their success.",
