KUALA LUMPUR: Bowling will offer 22 gold medals at the 2027 SEA Games, giving hosts Malaysia a platform to test an expanded format designed to revive the sport's international profile.
The programme doubles the 11 events contested when Malaysia last hosted the Games in 2017, introducing separate titles across short, medium and long oil patterns.
For Malaysian Tenpin Bowling Congress (MTBC) secretary-general Maradona Chok, the initiative extends beyond securing medals for the host nation.
"We want to shake the bowling world, not just Malaysia, but open the eyes of bowlers around the world to such a possibility," Maradona said.
