GEORGE TOWN: A mastectomy may have taken away the strength in her arms but not her legs, as cancer survivor Sandra Wu took home the gold in the 5,000m run at the Asia Pacific Masters Games 2018.

Competing in the 40-45 age group category, Wu won the gold in a time of 28:16.43 ahead of India’s Rachna Singh (28:18.20) and Kalpana Parmar (29:58.44).
