Dual mission for Sinkova – SEA Games glory and ticket to the Olympics

In with a chance: Going by the silver medal finish at the FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Challenge Cup in May, Tan Ing Yueh, stands a good chance of earning a place in next year’s Olympic Games.

KUALA LUMPUR: Preparing the women artistic gymnasts to dominate at the Philippines SEA Games is not the only priority for coach Nataliya Sinkova. The Ukrainian coach also wants to get Malaysian gymnasts in the Olympics for the first time in 20 years.

The last Malaysian to perform on the Olympic stage was Au Li Yen in the 2000 Sydney Games.
