Empty-handed after heavier task but Syahmi, Erry better armed for worlds

MALAYSIA’s weightlifters found the going much tougher at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games and returned home without a medal.

Only Syahmi Nor Ghazali and Erry Hidayat were fielded this time, and the outcome was a sharp contrast to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow three months ago, where Malaysia won five golds, one silver and one bronze.
