KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 29): Though the Malaysian football team failed to beat Thailand for the gold medal, the other athletes raised their game to win more golds to raise the tally to a record-shattering 140.

Malaysia also won 91 silver and 84 bronze medals for a total of 315 medals.

According to Bernma, there will be seven more golds to be won before the Games closes tomorrow night, and Malaysia is almost certain of grabbing the last two diving events and also pose a challenge in the short track speed skating programme with four golds at stake.

Bernama reported: "Continuing their winning streak at the National Velodrome in Nilai, Malaysia pedalled away with five more gold spearheaded by Olympic bronze medallist and world keirin champion Azizulhasni Awang who was striking in his world champion jersey as he defended the event for his second in the Games gold with teammate Mohd Shariz Efendi Mohd Shahrin taking silver.

"Woman cyclist Fatehah Mustapa broke her own national record to clinch her second Games gold in the 500m time trial clocking 34.52s, faster by 0.125s of her previous 2014 mark set in the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, after shrugging off a spirited late charge from Indonesian riders Crismonita Dwi Putri and Santia Tri Kusuma.

"Fatehah returned to the velodrome in the evening to pip teammate Farina Shawati Mohd Adnan for the keirin title in a repeat of the outcome of their tussle in the sprint yesterday.

"Muhammad Fadhil Mohd Zonis also took his second gold after bagging the men's 1km time trial in 1:01.889s ahead of teammate Muhammad Shah Firdaus Sahrom in 1:02.356s."

In the pencak silat event, Malaysia won seven golds with Muhammad Faizul Nasir and Mohd Al Jufferi Jamari defending their titles in the men's Class B (50kg-55kg) and Class E (65kg-70kg).

In the diving events, as expected Malaysian divers were way ahead of their rivals.

In the 3m springboard synchronised events, Nur Dhabitah Sabri paired Ng Yan Yee for the women's gold with 304.71 points while Ahmad Amsyar Azman and Chew Yiwei commanded the men's event before veteran Leong Mun Yee and upcoming 16-year-old Jellson Jabillin returned from the mixed synchronised 10m platform to add a third to give Malaysia 11 of 13 diving golds so far, Bernama reported.

The Hanifah siblings accounted for three golds today. Aaliyah Yoong stretched her personal count to three, adding the women's individual jumping and tricks titles to her defence of the overall jump gold three days ago, and also took silver in the slalom.

Shrugging off a nagging fever, the 14-year-old cleared 32.6m in the jumping contest.

Aaliyah, whose younger siblings Aiden and Adam are appearing in the Games, was the clear winner in the tricks, amassing 5,880 points. Adam rose above his tender nine years to prove himself a man in the tricks, winning gold with a score of 3,860, Bernama reported.

In Langkawi, the Optimist sailing events crowned two young Malaysian champions, Nurul Shazwanie Mohd Saad in the girl's race and Muhammad Fauzi Kaman Shah in the boy's event before his elder brother Ahmad Latif Khan followed suit with the men's Laser Radial gold.

Malaysia captured two of five titles in Muay through Ain Kamarruddin in the 54kg-57kg category and Mohd Ali Yaakub in the 51kg-54kg class.

Malaysia took only one gold in badminton through 17-year-old Goh Jin Wei who triumphed over the more fancied Soniia Cheah 21-11, 21-10 in the women's final.

The four remaining golds came from Anja Chong in the women's ice skating 500m short track speed race, men's polo team which beat Thailand 9-8 in the final, national men's hockey team defending their title ousting Myanmar 14-0 and sepak takraw bagging the round robin, Bernama reported.
