GLASGOW:
Malaysian athletes had a mixed day as they competed in swimming, para swimming, lawn bowling, artistic gymnastics and 3×3 wheelchair basketball on the second day of the 2026 Commonwealth Games here on Saturday.

Para swimmer Ethan Khoo finished fourth in the men’s 200m freestyle S14 final with a time of 2:5.25 while swimmers Khiew Hoe Yean, Tan Khai Xin, Lim Yin Chuen and Arvin Shaun Singh Chahal failed to make it pass their heats at the Tollcross International Swimming Centre.

The men’s 3×3 wheelchair basketball team suffered a heartbreaking loss in their opening Group B match against Wales, who beat them 13-14 in the dying moments of the game at the Scottish Event Campus.

Good news came from lawn bowling, as men’s singles player Izzat Shameer Dzulkeple and the women’s pair of Aleena Ahmad Nawawi-Syafiqa Haidar Afif Abdul Rahman enjoyed their third consecutive win in the group stage.

Women’s artistic gymnast Rachel Yeoh advanced to the uneven bars final after placing third out of 49 gymnasts in the qualifying round at Glasgow International Arena.

Today, the spotlight will fall on weightlifting, as defending champions Mohamad Aniq Kasdan and Muhamad Aznil Bidin begin their gold medal defence at SEC Armadilo.

Aniq will compete in the men’s 60kg category, while Aznil will be looking for his third consecutive Commonwealth Games gold medal in the men’s 65kg category.

The swim team of Hoe Yean, Arvin Shaun, Yin Chuen and Khai Xin will get another chance to progress when they compete in the men’s 4x200m freestyle relay race.

Malaysia has won one bronze medal through powerlifter Bonnie Bunyau Gustin in the men’s lightweight category. - FMT
