Olympic dream sinks for Kevin


PETALING JAYA: The lack of support from the National Sports Council has forced sailor Kevin Lim to take up full-time employment instead of preparing to achieve qualification for his fourth Olympics in Beijing next year. 

Kevin, who has been Malaysia's top sailor in the Laser category for more than a decade, is skipping the World Championships in Portugal next month, which is the first Olympic qualifying event.
