After 28 long years of grinding her way to the pinnacle of competitive bowling, Shalin Zulkifli has called time on her national career. A household name on the lanes, she leaves the scene with a total of 74 medals and a lasting legacy that'll be hard to replicate. She joins us on the programme to reflect an amazing career, struggles of her early beginnings, the sports' exclusion from the Olympics, the next-gen of national bowlers and more. Also is a Datukship on the horizon?
