Will Malaysia Bring Home The Elusive Gold?

Haresh Deol, Twentytwo13

Will Malaysia Bring Home The Elusive Gold?

"I doubt it" says Twentytwo13's Haresh Deol as this week on the program, we preview the Paris Olympics set to kick off this weekend. Team Malaysia's 26-strong roster - the smallest contingent since Athens 2004 - is a mix of experienced Olympians & athletes making their maiden appearance. It's been an eventful lead-up to the Games so far for our nation's athletes, marred with qualification uncertainties, uniform design woes, and lofty medal targets - will Paris 2024 be the main event or a stepping stone to our long-term LA 2028 prospects?

Haresh gives us a rundown of what our athletes are up against, their chances at the podium, and what we can expect to see at the 33rd edition of the world's biggest games.
