Mighty Irfan rewrites Sukma record in discus


Mohd Irfan Shamsuddin yells as he throws the discus. He retained the gold medal in the men's discus event at the National stadium in Singapore yesterday.(11/06/2015/S.S.KANESAN/The Star)

KUCHING: Burly Muhd Irfan Shamsuddin competed in two field events – discus and shot putt – in one day and still walked away with a gold and a bronze.

That’s quite a feat for the 19-year-old, who also made it a memorable outing by rewriting the Sukma record in discus with a throw of 55.16m to erase his previous mark of 54.26m set in Kangar two years ago.
