PUTRAJAYA, Youth and Sports Minister, Hannah Yeoh, urged the Malaysian athletes still competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics, especially those in the Road to Gold (RTG) programme, to remain focused on their mission to bring home the nation’s first gold medal from the prestigious event.
She advised the athletes to make the most of their time to prepare thoroughly, adding that the Malaysian secretariat at the games is ready to assist any athlete in need.
“I hope the athletes still competing will fully utilise their time in Paris, as each day counts.
