Malaysia competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024. It signified the nation's appearance in every single edition of summer Olympics, since its official debut in 1956 under the name 'Malaya', except for the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow due to the United States-led boycott.

Malaysia left Paris with two bronze medals in badminton, with men's doubles pair Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik retaining their bronze medals first won in 2021 and Lee Zii Jia taking another bronze medal in men's singles. The result of two bronze medals is the least successful outcome for the nation since 2008. It also marks the first time Malaysia claiming medals in only one sport, last time being 2008. Furthermore, it is also a return to the results achieved by the nation in 1992, where Malaysia secured medals without earning a silver and a gold. Therefore, the nation's wait for its first-ever Olympic gold medal carried on after leaving Paris. Malaysia ranked 80th in the overall results of the medal ranking, placing the nation at its worst ever standing at the Olympic Games.

In addition, Malaysia fell just short of a podium finish in badminton, weightlifting and cycling. In badminton, women's doubles pair Pearly Tan and Thinaah Muralitharan were defeated by Nami Matsuyama and Chiharu Shida of Japan in the bronze medal match, Aniq Kasdan narrowly lost to Hampton Morris of the United States in men's 61 kg event of weightlifting by a margin of only 1 kg while in cycling, Muhammad Shah Firdaus Sahrom was racing 3rd in the final lap in the gold medal match in men's keirin event of track cycling before involving in an incident where he was crashed by Shinji Nakano of Japan.

Background

[edit]

On 12 March 2023, Minister of Youth and Sports Hannah Yeoh Tseow Suan announced the appointment of President of Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) Hamidin Amin as Chef de Mission, with squash legend Nicol David as his deputy. The Ministry of Youth and Sports also launched the "Road to Gold" programme to support the national team in their quest for an elusive Olympic gold medal.[2][3]

On 23 June 2024, in conjunction with Olympic Day, the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) unveiled a new tiger-stripe design for the delegation's official attire, provided by Yonex-Sunrise. But after mixed public reactions and online criticism, the design was revised, and a new version featuring fiercer-looking tiger stripes was unveiled on 2 July 2024.[4][5][6]

On 1 July 2024, the OCM picked diver Bertrand Rhodict Lises and sailor Nur Shazrin Mohamad Latif as the flag bearers for the 2024 Summer Olympics opening ceremony.[7] In the Parade of Nations during the opening ceremony, the Malaysian delegation was represented by ten participants, consisting four officials and six athletes.[8][9] All participants boarded Jean-Sébastien Mouche (JS Mouche), a boat of Bateaux Mouches with Malawi and Maldives delegates, which traveled on a route on the Seine River.[10][11] The participants wore traditional costumes designed by Rizman Ruzaini named 'The Malaya', featuring an olive green colour scheme and golden songket motifs to symbolise their gold medal aspirations. The men wore the Baju Melayu Teluk Belanga, while the women wore the Baju Kurung with a kelubung.[12]

Malaysia archers secured a quota place in the women's recurve individual event at the 2023 Asian Continental Qualifier Tournament in Bangkok, Thailand.[16] Malaysia also qualified for the women's team for the first time at the 2024 Final Olympic Qualifiers Tournament in Antalya, Turkey, thus also entering 2 more archers in the women's individual recurve.[17]

However, this is also the first time that Malaysia did not have male representatives in archery since the 2008 Games in Beijing, China, as all of its male archers were eliminated in the early rounds of the latter qualifier tournament.[18]
