Question

Accepted Answer

Malaysia's Contingent for Hangzhou Asian Para Games Features 54 Debut Athletes

A total of 113 athletes will represent Malaysia at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Para Games, with 54 of them being new faces making their debut. This significant number of newcomers is one of the factors influencing the national contingent's targeted medal haul.
A New Generation of Athletes

The Malaysian contingent comprises 113 athletes heading to Hangzhou. Among these participants, 54 have been identified as new athletes who will be competing at this level for the first time.
Strategic Medal Target

The Paralympic Council of Malaysia (PCM) and the National Sports Council (NSC) have set a target of 35 medals, irrespective of colour, for the Games. This figure is a reduction from the 68 medals achieved in the 2018 edition held in Jakarta-Palembang.
Factors Influencing the Target

Several reasons contribute to the adjusted medal target. Beyond the large number of debutants, the Games in Hangzhou will not feature some sports or events in which Malaysia previously secured medals, such as bowling and lawn bowls. Additionally, some past medal winners have retired, and there has been an observed dip in the performance of certain athletes who previously won medals.
