PETALING JAYA: The National Archery Association of Malaysia (NAAM) are disappointed over the exclusion of their women’s compound and recurve squads from next month’s Incheon Asian Games in South Korea.

Compound archery is making its debut at the Games. Unfortunately, the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) shot down NAAM’s request on Wednesday for their women’s recurve and compound squads to compete at the Asiad.
