AHEAD of the Malaysia Games (SUKMA) 2026, for which Selangor will play host, training centres for athletes with disabilities witness quiet yet meaningful journeys.
These centres are where efforts are doubled and redoubled, with the hope of podium finishes on the national sports stage.
Boccia has become a sport where Selangor para athletes with physical disabilities, especially cerebral palsy, can show their prowess.
Every throw is not just a technical move, but a reflection of gradually built strength and confidence.
Boccia isn’t just a sport of collecting points; it tests one’s patience, attention to detail, and emotional fortitude. Each training session teaches athletes to keep trusting their abilities despite their limited physical mobility.
In the court, these athletes appear calm, but beyond their focused gazes lie a strong determination. Each throw is meticulously calculated and claims a high level of strategy and attention.
For this relatively unknown sport, accuracy and tactical planning are main strengths, which shows how excellence isn’t just determined by mere physical strength.
Behind Selangor boccia athletes’ successes is the support of coaches and athlete guides who form the backbone of the team. The close relationship, based on deep trust and understanding for each athlete’s needs, ensures every strategy is implemented effectively.
These meaningful moments were captured by photographer MOHD KHAIRUL HELMY MOHD DIN, featuring Selangor boccia athletes in action, fully focused on their every throw.
Each picture doesn’t just depict an athlete in action, but bears witness to Selangor para athletes’ strength and tenacity in their journey to SUKMA 2026.
