Martin misses Xmas with family, but work comes first


Back to the grind: Swimming coach Chris Martin going through the paces with the national swimmers in Bukit Jalil.

PETALING JAYA: There was no white Christmas for Malaysia’s swimming coach Chris Martin this year. Instead the American was rather happy to tuck into, albeit under humid conditions, a seafood meal in Bangsar on Dec 25.

Martin could not go back to spend the Yuletide season with his family in Pennsylvania because of Covid-19 restrictions but was equally happy to catch up on some reading to see him through the holiday break.
