BIRMINGHAM, Aug 3 — The stunning performance of the country’s lead men’s singles player Ng Tze Yong in the final of the mixed team event was the starting point for Malaysia’s glorious success in reclaiming the gold by defeating defending champions India 3-1 at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games last night.
“It must be remembered that we were the underdogs before the final and not favourites, but we managed to prove that nothing is impossible,” he told reporters after the medal presentation ceremony. Malaysia, who lost 2-3 to India in the quarter-finals of the 2022 Thomas Cup, saw two of the country’s three singles players fail to deliver points then, resulting in them failing to end a 30-year title drought in the most prestigious world team badminton tournament.
As such, Mohamad Norza, who is also Olympic Council of Malaysia president, said solid support is needed from all parties to ensure that the current young players can experience more proud success in two to three years from now.
