Faizal Eyeing For Gold At World Silat Meet

KUALA LUMPUR, March 24 (Bernama) -- After winning the gold at the SEA Games in Laos in December last year, national silat exponent, Faizal Abdullah is now targeting the gold medal at the World Silat Championsip to be held in Indonesia, in July.

"I hope with the guidance of coach Cikgu Nasri Nasir, I can achieve the target of bringing back the gold medal in July," he told Bernama on Wednesday.

In preparation for the championship, Faizal is now undergoing intensive training five times a week at the National Sports Council (NSC) Gymnasium in Bukit Jalil, together with the other silat exponents.

Besides the scheduled training at the NSC, Faizal said his participation at the Belgium Silat Open Championship in May would also be used as a yardstick to gauge his preparation for the meet in Indonesia.
