PETALING JAYA: National squash player Ng Eain Yow is not letting the lure of a direct Olympic qualification at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games cloud his focus on his main objective to defend his gold medal next month.

Eain Yow acknowledged that the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic spot offered to the individual gold medallists in Japan would be the highlight of the sport at the Asian Games, but he is not letting himself get carried away with what is at stake when the games take place from Sept 19-Oct 4.
