Gone are the days when brawn was all you needed to excel in sports, National Sports Council head of the Malaysian Athlete Career and Education secretariat Datuk Shalin Zulkifli told StarEdu.
The latest darling of social media, 27-year-old American Gabby Thomas, ran for Harvard while completing a degree in neurobiology and later earned a master’s degree in public health from the University of Texas before being crowned Olympic 200m champion in Paris. “A large percentage of student-athletes in our national programme struggle to meet the minimum entry requirement of three credits needed to enrol in local universities,” she said, acknowledging that while progress has been made over the years, there is still significant work to be done to better support and prepare our athletes so that they are better able to compete with leading Olympic nations, particularly those in Asia.
The 46-year-old’s outstanding contributions to the sport include capturing two golds in the team event at the World Championships, four golds at the Asian Games, and 20 golds at the South-East Asian Games, making her the second-highest gold medal contributor in the SEA Games. “Many Malaysian student-athletes strive for excellence in both academics and sports, proving that with dedication and hard work, they can achieve success in multiple areas.
“In Malaysia, as sports gain more recognition and support, combining education with athletics helps young people grow both academically and personally.
