PETALING JAYA: Not having a gold medal target for the upcoming SEA Games might reduce the pressure on athletes, but it could build the wrong mindset for creating champions in the long run.
Local sports observer Mohd Sadek Mustafa said that setting medal targets is fundamental as they measure our athletes’ performances against the world, and without it, it would create athletes who are unprepared for global competition.
