PETALING JAYA: A place in the Tokyo Olympics might be out of his reach but Tan Huong Leong has all the pedigree to become Malaysia’s first SEA Games gold medallist in marathon at the Vietnam edition next year.
The 31-year-old showed he is up to the challenge after posting a personal best of 2’23:13 at the Taipei Marathon on Sunday, smashing his own national record of 2’24:04 set in Fukuoka two years ago.
Off and running: Tan Huong Leong broke the national record at the Taipei Marathon.
