As a momentous year in Malaysian sports nears to a close, we look back at some of the biggest sporting stories that happened this year.

We revisit Sivasangari Subramaniam's historic win at the London Squash Classic that marked the first time a Malaysian had won a gold-level PSA tournament since Datuk Nicol David in 2015, the horrific attacks on footballers Faisal Halim and Akhyar Rashid that shook Malaysian football, Malaysia's bid to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games that drew mixed reactions and heated debates, the thrilling bronze medal matches fought by national shuttlers Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik and Lee Zii Jia at the Paris Olympics, and the performance report card of the Malaysian contingent at the world's biggest games.
