KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 2 — The Malaysian contingent failed to add to its gold medal tally on the 13th day of the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games yesterday, but all eyes are on three key events today where track cycling champion Datuk Mohd Azizulhasni Awang and the men’s and women’s squash teams will be hunting for gold.
The men’s and women’s squash teams booked their tickets to the final after defeating defending champions India 2-1 and hosts Japan 2-0, respectively, paving the way for Malaysia to potentially secure two gold medals from the court.
The last time Malaysia had representatives in the final for both squash categories was at the 2014 edition in Incheon.
In hockey, the national men’s squad also advanced to the final after edging South Korea 2-1 and will face India in the title decider scheduled for Saturday.
