During the recent Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games, the Malaysian team exceeded their initial goal of winning 27 medals, consisting of 288 athletes managed to secure a total of 32 medals, including six gold, eight silver, and 18 bronze medals. Besides squash, water sports emerged as a significant highlight in Hangzhou, achieving notable success with one silver and four bronze medals. Although the entire medal haul was won by the diving team, the swimming squad demonstrated promising progress by meeting their target of reaching two finals. Joining us on the program to review the events is Marilyn Chua, an Olympian and Vice President of the Malaysia Swimming Association.
