Syahmi equals his idol Erry with silver

CHONBURI: National weightlifter Mohd Syahmi Nor Ghazali was only 13 when he watched Erry Hidayat compete in the 2017 SEA Games at home.

Although Erry missed out on a medal and finished fourth, Syahmi was impressed with the then 18-year-old’s performance, and wanted to emulate him.
