Badminton, hockey, diving, football… all these popular sports are damn hard to nail that elusive first gold for Malaysia. We will never measure up against the traditional powerhouses unless Kingston Lee grows up and start activating his genes and start beastinv at the games but that’s for another day
I see a lot of people creaming in their pants when squash gets introduced in the next Olympics in LA, but let’s be honest, stop living in the past coz Nicol has retired long time ago
But,
If sepak Takraw is inducted into Olympics I think we may stand a chance of getting gold…. But hold the wank….
Some context here. To be inducted in Olympics, the sport must be popularly played in 70 countries across 3 different continents…
Currently there are 54 sepak Takraw associations around the world and we need 16 more countries to play that sports.
How many more years before we can achieve that number? Food for thought.

Depends if angmoh like it or not. Normally, they tend to pursue sports which they are familiar with like tennis is popular there so pickleball gaining popularity was only a matter of time. Just see how pickleball rose to stardom so quickly and you have people playing it here in Msia too
Ayam won't be surprised if pickleball gets into the Olympics before sepak takraw

Sports need effort from the federation to grow, it won’t evolve if people just sit on their arses everyday
I have seen a lot of people kudaing with pickleball on social media than seeing real sepak Takraw posts… so it won’t surprise me if that happens

Our gomen will only fund and develop talent in sports where we've had past track record of being successful. Only after you berjaya, will the money start flowing in to develop and improve talent.
That's just sad but nothing much we can do about it.

Have u seen the Pakistani javelin thrower?
He had to buy his own javelin lol
Fckin respect
On a serious note, someone mentioned rock climbing.
Competitive rock climbing isn’t a fcking thing back 30 yrs ago…but yet the sport has grown rapidly over the decades and gets in ahead of Takraw.

Rock climbing was a very niche sport that only your adrenaline junkies would go after. I think its popularity skyrocketed after Alex Honnold's Free Solo documentary and this translated to the rise of popularity in bouldering. Now, you'll have so many bouldering gyms around.
It's inclusion in the previous Olympics only further propelled it into the mainstream
