The national athletes’ mission in Tokyo is clear – end the country’s long wait for a gold medal in the Olympics.
TOKYO: With the 2020 Tokyo Olympics finally upon us after almost a year-long delay due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the time has come for our 30 athletes to stand up and be counted.
After more than four years of sweat, tears and sacrifices, the 30 of them will go up against arguably the world’s best in their respective events in their quest to meet the three-medal target, including a first-ever gold, set by Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican.
PETALING JAYA: The challenge has been laid for the Malaysian Olympians – Get Malaysia’s first gold in Japan!
Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican has announced that the target for Tokyo is three medals and one of them is gold.
The sports earmarked to get medals are cycling, badminton and diving.
Reezal said the gold could be a joy for the nation, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic and believes Malaysia has longed for someone to win the revered gold in the Olympics.
“When I spoke to the athletes, they showed great spirit, and many have shown great optimism to do something special in Tokyo. Even our chef de mission and badminton legend Datuk Lee Chong Wei wants someone to break his record. He would be satisfied if that happens,”said Reezal from the Youth and Sports Ministry Tower in Putrajaya via a virtual press conference yesterday.
