NATIONAL triple jumper Mohd Hakimi Ismail is the undisputed triple jump champion of South-East Asia. He proved it by taking the gold medal for a third time at the New Clark City Athletics Arena. And it was all the more meaningful because this was his first win in any event so far this year.

After having won in Singapore 2015 and Kuala Lumpur 2017, he dedicated his third win to his wife Sharifah Mastiara Syed Mahadi who is expecting their second child next month.
