The World Games is running an online poll for The Greatest Athlete of All Time, and Malaysian squash legend Datuk Nicol Ann David is in the lead.
This poll hosts 24 athletes from all ranges of sports from all editions of The World Games’ history from 1981 to 2017, including sports like Sumo or Lacrosse.
Nicol David is representing Squash, and is the only athlete from an Asian country to be represented in this poll.
Currently, she is leading in the poll by a large margin with over 68,000 votes, a testament to Malaysians who pitched together to make it happen for her. Second place sits at 36,000 votes.
