Injury’s no Achilles heel for AAA


Malaysia’s Andre Anura Anuar in action for men’s triple jump at Morodok Techo National Stadium in conjunction of 2023 Sea Games at Cambodia. - FAIHAN GHANI/The Star

ANDRE Anura Anuar had a heel injury when he arrived in Cambodia, but that was not going to be his Achilles heel – he maintained Malaysia’s dominance in the triple jump by leaping to 16.06m.

In fact, Andre’s first jump of 16.05m put him in the lead and in gold-winning position but he withstood the pain and completed the six tries to ensure Malaysia were crowned champions for the fifth time in a row.
