The top seeds defend their Asian Games squash titles, becoming the first players to qualify for the Los Angeles Games.
Malaysia’s Eain Yow Ng and Sivasangari Subramaniam have made history by becoming the first squash players to qualify for the 2028 Olympics after winning gold medals at the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan.
The defending champions won the men’s and women’s singles finals on Sunday and earned a ticket to the 2028 Los Angeles Games, where squash will make its Olympic debut.
Squash is among a handful of sports at Aichi-Nagoya where a gold medal serves as automatic qualification for the next Olympics.
World number five Sivasangari joined her compatriot soon after when she made quick work of the women’s final against India’s Anahat Singh.
