At the recently concluded 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games, the Malaysian team put in a solid shift - surpassing the six gold medal target set for the contingent - coming home with seven gold, eight silver & eight bronze. New stars were born too with names like Ng Jo Ee (rhythmic gymnastics) & Ng Tze Yong (badminton) introducing themselves onto the international stage to great effect.

The young squad - eight out of the 28 athletes under the age of 21 brought home medals - with Malaysia ending up 10th on the overall standings, being the second highest Asian team after India. Twentytwo13's Haresh Deol joins us on the program, as we review the Birmingham campaign.
