Setting specific SEA Games marks can be limiting for athletes and sports, says Nurul Huda


PETALING JAYA: Setting specific medal targets can be limiting for national athletes and the sport as well, says Thailand SEA Games chef de mission (CDM) Nurul Huda Abdullah.

Speaking from her past experience as a former swimmer, Nurul said setting coloured medal targets can stress out an athlete, and the results might not reflect their true performance potential because of it.
