Kum Zee can hold his head high despite nightmarish Olympic outing


Going down memory lane: Loo Kum Zee only managed a dismal 2.15m to finish 30th in the qualifying round of the Atlanta Games in 1996.

HIGH jump is one sport that Malaysia dominated in the region.

With the 2005 Manila SEA Games being the exception, our high jumpers have never failed to bring a gold medal since Baljit Singh first leapt to glory when the biennial games was staged on home soil in 1977.
