MA back SEA Games-bound Norliyana’s high jump bid, drop heptathlon plan

PETALING JAYA: You can’t change the past, but you can certainly learn from it and that’s exactly what Malaysia Athletics (MA) are doing as they gear up for the SEA Games in Thailand in December.

In a strategic shift, MA have decided to enter seasoned athlete Norliyana Kamaruddin (pic) in only the high jump event, dropping her signature heptathlon in which she won a silver medal at the 2019 SEA Games in the Philippines.
