TOKYO, July 27 — There was a pall of gloom hanging over the Malaysian contingent at the end of Day Five of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics after the national divers failed to deliver the country’s first medal as many had expected.
Over at the Yumenoshima Park Archery Field, Syaqiera Mashayikh’s Tokyo assignment is all over after she crashed out in the first round of the women’s individual recurve event. National men’s doubles pair Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik sparked a frenzy when they produced a storming performance to trounce Canada’s Jason Ho-Shue-Nyl Yakura 21-15, 21-13 and qualify for the last eight in style at the Musashino Forest Sports Plaza here.
Soniia Cheah, meanwhile, did not even have to lift her racquet after her women’s singles opponent, Laura Sarosi of Hungary, conceded a walkover due to an injury. After six races at the Enoshima Yacht Harbour, the 28-year-old is in 26th spot out of 35 sailors, with 99 net points.
