It was our gold mine once upon a time, but now we merely finished with 4 gold medals. Only 8 athletes qualified on merit and the rest were on category B (sponsored by MAF).
Though, it showed some hopes in events such as men high jump and men sprinting but other events which we were the power house were just surrendered. We were power house for men walking for 20 years which started from G.Subramaniam, G.Saravanan, B.Thirukumaran, Teo Boon Lim, Narinder Sing, Sharulhaizy and Loo chee seang.
But this year, we ended up empty handed. Same goes to women hammer which we were holding it for 8 years and lost it now.
I can still remember in year 1997, the overall target for sea gams was not meet, but atletics were the overall champ. We won men events (400M, 80M, 1500M, 10000M, 5000M, Hinh Jump, Long Jump, Triple Jump, Javelin, Hammer, 50km walk, 4x400M, 110M hurdles, 3000 steeplechase) and women (100M, 200M, 400M, 800M, 20km walk, 4x400M)
I just wonder when will we be going to our glory days.
