KUALA LUMPUR: Despite failing to achieve their 10 gold target, national swimming coach Li Xin Xin is still proud of her charges' achievements at the Kuala Lumpur Asean Para Games (Para KL2017). "Nine gold is not bad considering the fact that we were not able to undergo intensive training as much as Vietnam and Indonesia did," said Xin Xin. Xin Xin added that the squad needs to ramp up their efforts ahead of the Indonesia Asian Para Games next year. Indonesia emerged the overall winners of the swimming competition at Para KL2017 with a 39 gold, 13 silver and 12 bronze haul. Vietnam came in second on 15 gold, 22 silver and 16 bronze while Malaysia settled for third.
