National hockey icon Datuk Mirnawan Nawawi believes that the Speedy Tigers still have a chance to be included in the Road to Gold (RTG) programme if they happen to progress and improve their world rankings in the years to come.
Hannah said while all athletes get support from the National Sports Council (NSC) and National Sports Institute (NSI) through the Podium programme, those in RTG are ranked among the top 10 in the world or are gold medal prospects.
Squash legend Datuk Nicol David has pledged to ensure that squash athletes are included in the Road to Gold programme to prepare for the 2028 Olympics.
Independent shuttler Lee Zii Jia remains the only athlete in the ongoing Road To Gold (RTG) programme who has yet to sign a Letter of Commitment (LoC), a mandatory requirement set by the RTG committee.
The national hockey team manager, Datuk Mirnawan Nawawi, hopes to regain the trust of the Road to Gold (RTG) committee by securing a spot at the 2024 Paris Olympics through next year's qualifiers.
