PETALING JAYA: Mohd Sharul Aimy came agonisingly close to Malaysia’s first Commonwealth Games medal in two decades but had to settle for a heartbreaking fourth place in the men’s vault final.

The 24-year-old produced two superb vaults but narrowly missed the podium after scoring 13.733 points, tying with Cyprus’ Neofytos Kyriakou at the Glasgow International Arena last night.
