Sepak Takraw, loosely translated as "kick volleyball", is gaining popularity around the world and many sepak takraw associations are campaigning for it to become an Olympic sport. <br /><br />The game has ancient roots in South East Asia and fans say that its has a level of cultural and artisitic value not seen in other sports. <br /><br />But in Malaysia, where the Malaysian Sepak Raga Federation (an earlier name for the game) was formed in 1960, critics say the game has stagnated. <br /><br />Thailand have been winning gold at international competitions for years, while Malaysia settles for silver. <br /><br />But with a new generation of players finding the game online, can Malaysian sports associations create enough support to bring home the gold?<br /><br />Video produced by @TheFourth
