National gymnast vaults to history as first Malaysian to win medal at Asian meet


Well earned: Mohd Sharul Aimy posing with his bronze medal.

But the 22-year-old did way better by winning a bronze and will now return home as the first Malaysian to win a medal in the men’s artistic competition at the Asian meet since its inception in 1996.
