Ex-national footballer Tuck scores his second Asian gold
KUALA LUMPUR: Lee Tuck has walked away from the M-League into something more interesting.
The former national footballer is into HYROX, a hybrid sport which requires him to run eight kilometres, interspersed with eight different workout stations of SkiErg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jump, rowing, farmers carry, sandbag lunges, and wall balls.
The England-born Tuck, who became a naturalised player for Harimau Malaya, won the HYROX Asian Championships (35–39 age group) for the second consecutive year in Singapore last week.
The 36-year-old shared on Instagram. "Such a great feeling when the sacrifice pays off and the goal you've committed so much towards finally comes together.
"Back-to-back gold at the HYROX Asian Championship! Different race. Different country. Different challenges. Same mindset — show up, compete, and give it everything.
Tuck left the M-League last year after playing for Kedah. He returned to England to focus on real estate — a venture that has also seen considerable success, with his company named as a finalist for the Best Real Estate Investor Award in the United Kingdom last year.
Tuck earned nine caps for Malaysia and scored three goals between 2022 and 2023. At M-league level, he made a significant impact at Negri Sembilan (2017), Terengganu (2018–2020, 2022), Pahang (2021–2022) and Kedah (2023).
