Amy Kwan is Malaysia's gymnastics latest youth prospect. After breaking out into the scene in 2014, she went on to bag multiple medals in international tournaments. Her most recent come from her eventful 2018, clinching five medals at the Commonwealth Games, catching the world by storm. While she unfortunately ended the year with a disappointing performance at the Asian Games, as well as succumbing to an ankle injury, her hot streak was quickly reinvigorated, when she was crowned Olympian Of The Year for Malaysia. Now, she prepares for her comeback, and with the Olympics coming up in 2020, she joins us on the show to look back at her career so far, and anticipates what's in store for her future.
