In this episode of Sports Matters Podcast, we delve into the often-overlooked world of Lawn Bowls, a sport that Malaysian World No 1, Nor Farah Ain Abdullah, passionately believes deserves greater recognition.
Forget the misconceptions of it being easy or unpopular; Farah reveals the intense focus, strategic depth and sheer skill required to excel in this discipline.
She shares her experiences, contrasting the dismissive attitudes prevalent in Malaysia with the encouraging support she received overseas, highlighting the need for a shift in perception.
