RM8m programme to improve standard of athletics

Middle distance runner Mohd Jironi Riduan contributed two of the four golds won by athletics at the SEA Games in Myanmar, for the 800m and 1,500m.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Athletics Federation (MAF) have come out with a four-year programme to improve the standard of athletics in the country.

MAF were at the receiving end for their poor outing in the Myanmar SEA Games last December. They only managed to win four out of the 45 golds at stake in the biennial Games.
