Aisyah, Juni eager to perform well at Tokyo Olympics 08 Jul 2021 / 08:22 H.
KUALA LUMPUR: It feels awkward but that is the fact that must be accepted by two female national sailing athletes who could not kiss their parents hands before leaving for Tokyo tomorrow to carry Malaysia s hopes at the Olympic Games which starts on July 23.
This is because the youngest representative of the sailing team to the Tokyo Olympics, Juni Karimah Noor Jamali, and teammate Nuraisyah Jamil who will compete in the International 470 women s event need to be in the sports bubble ahead of the prestigious games.
However, Juni Karimah still managed to get the blessings from her family at the National Yacht Training Centre in Langkawi island before undergoing quarantine at the Malaysian Paralympic Sports Centre of Excellence in Kampung Pandan starting last Sunday.
