Malaysia Reclaims Lion City Cup 2025 Lawn Bowls Title
The tournament held at Kallang Lawn Bowls Green and Tanglin Club saw the national squad bagged three gold medals, one silver and six bronze medals to lead the medal tally and emerged as the overall tournament champion.
Malaysia's gold medals were won by Emma Firyana Saroji and Nurul Alyani Jamil in the ladies pairs event, Muhammad Fikri Mohamed Hashim-Muhammad Attiq Imran Aminuddin in the mens' pairs under-25 (B25) event, and Noor Azzahara Abd Razak-Nurul Balqis Anisha Bakal (B-25 Ladies Pairs).
Malaysian Lawn Bowls Federation (MLBF) president, Datuk Awalan Abdul Aziz said it was even more impressive that Malaysia only sent a reserve men's squad to compete in the men's category but was still able to win the overall tournament yesterday.
'The women's squad we sent is an elite squad, but our men's squad sent a reserve team consisting of university students, but they were still able to show encouraging achievements.
'For the pairs event, Emma Firyana and Nurul Alyani, who finished as runners-up at the Australian Open, managed to win the gold medal at the tournament yesterday, showing that the national squad consistently performs well,' he told Bernama today.
For the record, last year, Malaysia failed to defend the overall championship it won in 2023 when it finished second with one gold, three silver and two bronze- BERNAMA

Tour de France reroutes Alpine stage as farmers cull herd infected with cattle disease
CHAMBERY, July 25 — Stage 19 of the Tour De France will be shortened on Friday after an outbreak of a contagious cattle disease, organisers announced late Thursday, reported German Press Agency (dpa). 'The discovery of an outbreak of contagious nodular dermatitis affecting cattle in a herd located specifically in the Col des Saisies has necessitated the culling of the animals,' organisers said. 'In light of the distress experienced by the affected farmers and to preserve the smooth running of the race, it has been decided, in agreement with the relevant authorities, to modify the route of Stage 19 (Albertville–La Plagne) and to avoid the ascent to the col des Saisies.' The demanding Alpine stage from Albertville to La Plagne will now cover a distance of just 95 kilometres, down from the originally planned 129.9 kilometres, organisers said on social media platform X. Riders will also face less elevation, with the removal of the Col des Saisies climb reducing the total ascent from the original 4,550 metres. The stage is now set to begin at 2.30 pm (1230 GMT) in Albertville - one hour later than initially scheduled. — Bernama
