KRISTIAN Tung had always been a cross-country runner who never raced on a track – until three years ago at Loughborough University in England.

The training at the university paid off when the 20-year-old – in his first track races, swept to two golds at the Malaysia Games (Sukma), winning in both the 10,000m and 1,5000m races.
