SELANGOR<\/strong>: Sarawak\u2019s para powerlifting squad is on course to meet its five-gold target at Para SUKMA Selangor 2026, with three gold medals already secured and two more opportunities remaining on the final day of competition.<\/p>\nMinister of Women, Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development Datuk Seri Fatimah Abdullah said the squad\u2019s performance had been encouraging, with the remaining golds still within reach tomorrow (Sept 8).<\/p>\n
\u201cWe targeted five gold medals and today we have secured three. Hopefully, tomorrow, on the final day, we can get the other two. If we get more than two, that would be even better \u2014 a bonus,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Fatimah also highlighted Anson Tiong Cheong Huat\u2019s golden debut as one of the memorable moments for the Sarawak contingent.<\/p>\n
Anson, competing at a major para powerlifting event for the first time, delivered gold in the men\u2019s up to 49kg category to make an immediate impact.<\/p>\n
Fatimah described the achievement as a rare feat for an athlete competing at this level for the first time and urged Anson to treat the victory as the beginning of a longer journey in para powerlifting.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis should be a beginning for him to achieve many more successes in the future,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She also congratulated the entire Sarawak para powerlifting squad for its performance, expressing hope that the team could meet or even surpass its medal target before the competition concludes.<\/p>\n
Fatimah said the para powerlifters\u2019 success should also serve as motivation for Sarawak athletes competing in other sports, as the contingent continues its campaign in Selangor.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe victory gives encouragement to our other athletes in the other events,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
With the para powerlifting competition entering its final day, Fatimah acknowledged the challenge facing Sarawak as rival contingents continue to improve their performances.<\/p>\n
