TTWTA EP30: This Is Why We Love Our Athletes


Listen Later

The Olympic fever is still high and running! This week, we’re here to discuss what’s been happening in the Olympic events, how different the Olympics look this year, the opening ceremony that we can’t stop talking about, what we love about our national athletes, and why keyboard warriors should keep their comments to themselves.

Since we recorded this episode, a number of Malaysian players have been doing very well! Our badminton men’s doubles Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik grabbed the bronze medal, beating former world champions in their first ever Olympic! (If only we all witnessed their win together at the mamak) Our badminton men’s singles player Lee Zii Jia also made it all the way to round of 16. This young man has certainly got a bright future ahead! Our national diver Nur Dhabitah Sabri is through to the finals in the 3m springboard event. We’re rooting for her today!

We also want to give honourable mentions to our amazing badminton pair Chan Peng Soon and Goh Liu Ying, women’s doubles Chow Mei Kuan and Lee Meng Yean, women’s singles player Soniia Cheah, swimmers Welson Sim and Phee Jinq En, women’s diver Ng Yan Yee, track athletes Azreen Nabila Alias and Lee Hup Wei, golfer Gavin Green, the sailing team Nuraisyah Jamil, Juni Noor Jamali, Nur Syazrin Latif and Khairulnizam Afendy, female shooter Noor Suryani Taibi, and our national cyclist coming soon Azizulhasni Awang. You have all done incredibly well to represent Malaysia and bring a sense of hope to our country during these trying times.

Thank you #TeamMalaysia for your passion, dedication and hard work!
