KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 — A comprehensive study needs to be carried out if there is a need to set an age limit for high-performance athletes, said National Sports Council director-general Datuk Ahmad Shapawi Ismail.
“For example, Datuk Lee Chong Wei first took part in the Olympics in 2004 and reached the top of his game at the 2016 Rio Olympics ,” he said at the National Sports Vision 2030 virtual engagement session on High-Performance Sports today. “For example, if we want to take below 24 or 25, they are not matured yet. We still have athletes aged 29 or 30 who are still able to perform well,” he said.
