Malaysian Athletes Bound for Beijing

To date, 20 Malaysian athletes from eight sport disciplines qualified for Beijing; another nine, from badminton, are “almost certain to make the grade”.

Malaysia is banking on its badminton shuttlers to end a 12-year Olympic medal drought.

Some of Malaysia’s Beijing-bound athletes include: national walker Yuan Yufang, women divers Leong Mun Yee, Pandelela Rinong and Elizabeth Jimie; men’s track cylists Azizul Hasni Awang, Mohd Edrus Yunus, Rizal Tisin and Junaidi Nasir; men’s rapid fire pistol shooter Hasli Izwan Amir Hasan; and cyclist Josiah Ng.
