Veteran Norliyana soars to high jump gold in Bangkok
KUALA LUMPUR: Veteran high jumper Norliyana Kamaruddin soared to gold at the Thailand Open in Bangkok on Wednesday, clearing 1.75m to top the women's event. The 34-year-old's effort also surpassed the Sea Games bronze medal qualifying mark of 1.73m, previously set by Singapore's Michelle Li at the 2023 Phnom Penh Games. In middle-distance events, Savinder Kaur delivered a solid outing by bagging silver in the 800m (2:13.50) and bronze in the 1500m (4:38.30). Savinder, who clinched 800m silver at the 2022 Hanoi Sea Games, expressed mixed emotions after her double medal haul. "I'm happy to win two medals, but it's unfortunate that I've yet to qualify for the Thailand Sea Games," she said. The Sea Games qualifying times for the events are 2:09.15 for the 800m and 4:26.33 for the 1500m. Meanwhile, Roshan Shawn Singh posted a personal best of 3:57.25 in the men's 1500m, bettering his previous mark of 3:59.50, although it was not enough to secure a medal.
