Shalin and Nicol can be most successful athlete in Asiad

PUTRAJAYA: They are household names in their respective sports. And come next week, bowler Shalin Zulkifli and squash queen Nicol David have a chance to etch their names in Asian Games sporting history as the most successful Malaysian athletes of all time. 

Shalin and Nicol, who will be the country’s flagbearer in Incheon, South Korea, have both won four gold medals each at the Asian Games – the same as track legend Tan Sri Dr M. Jegathesan and badminton ace Ng Boon Bee.
