Judoka Amir creates Commonwealth Games history

BIRMINGHAM: Malaysia had never won any judo medal in Commonwealth Games history and the prospect of a medal here was far from the minds of many. But judoka Amir Daniel Abdul Majeed threw a surprise by creating history in winning Malaysia's first ever medal in the sport yesterday. The Sea Games bronze medallist bagged a bronze in the 73kg category after his opponent from Cyprus, Dato Matsoukatov, was disqualified at the Coventry Arena.
