Kristian’s on top of the world after third long distance title


WITH three Malaysia Games (Sukma) gold medals around his neck, Federal Territories‘ long-distance runner Kristian Tung (pic) is feeling on top of the world – and wants to stay there, by winning even more medals.

After bagging 10,000m and 1,500m gold on Monday, the 20-year-old Loughborough University student annihilated his opponents in the 5,000m by clocking a time of 15:20.50, seven seconds faster than Perak’s Shawn Roshan Singh from Perak (15.27.37) at the Sarawak Stadium in Petra Jaya yesterday.
