sepak takraw Asian Games 2018
sepak takraw Asian Games 2018: WHAT a fightback it was, as Malaysia made a superb recovery from being one game down and trailing 11-17 in the second game in the men’s regu final to beat Indonesia 18-21, 22-20, 21-11 to end a 24-year-gold medal drought in the Asian Games sepak takraw event in Palembang today.
At the Ranau Hall in the Jakabaring Sports City, national head coach Abdul Talib Ahmad had fielded the first regu of Mohammad Shahir Mohd Rosdi (tekong), Farhan Adam and Mohamad Azlan Alias, who showed nerves of steel to overcome the hosts after more than an hour of thrilling action.
The last time Malaysia triumphed in sepaktakraw was also in the men’s regu competition in Hiroshima, Japan, but that was back in 1994.
This time around, Malaysia stood a good chance to get the gold in the absence of powerhouse Thailand, who did not participate.
Malaysia’s gold medal victories were achieved in the women’s individual squash from Nicol David, with the bowlers contributing two in the women’s trios (Esther Cheah, Siti Safiyah Amirah Abdul Rahman and Syaidatul Afifah Badrul Hamidi) and Rafiq Ismail in the men’s Masters.
