Malaysia hard-pressed to get more athletes to the Tokyo Games


Tokyo-bound: Gymnast Farah Ann Abdul Hadi, diver Dhabitah Sabri (inset) and All-England badminton champion Lee Zii Jia (below) are just three of the 21 athletes who have confirmed their places for the Olympics in Japan.

PETALING JAYA: It looks like Malaysia will be sending its smallest contingent to the Tokyo Olympics since the 2004 Athens Games when we had 26 athletes in the fray.

At the last Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, Malaysia had 32 athletes.
