A long time coming, but long jump gold well worth it for Andre


ANDRE Anura Anuar (pic) finally struck gold in long jump at the Malaysia Games (Sukma) in his third attempt, after weeks of pondering his future as he had simply lost motivation.

The 23-year-old from Sabah came out tops after clearing a distance of 7.40m at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil yesterday after enduring a difficult period following his flop at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games in July.
