Sabah’s high-jump duo Eizlan and Farrell can spring surprises in Games

Medal prospect: Mohd Eizlan Dahalan won the bronze with a 2.18m jump in the Hanoi SEA Games.

PETALING JAYA: Men’s high jump hopefuls Mohd Eizlan Dahalan and Farrell Glenn Felix Jurus are not the favourites at the SEA Games but being the underdogs could give them more bite in their attempt to regain Malaysia’s supremacy in the event in Cambodia.

The absence of three-time champion Nauraj Singh Randhawa through injury has shifted the focus on the Sabah duo but former SEA Games kingpin Lee Hup Wei believes they can spring a surprise.
