Jegathesan goes from athlete to chef-de-mission in the Olympics


By D. RAJ

GREAT HONOUR: Malaysian chef-de-mission Datuk Dr Mani Jegathesan waiting for the Olympic flame during a torch relay in Greece earlier this month. He will be involved in his sixth Olympics when the Athens Games begin on Aug 13.

KUALA LUMPUR: He’s been there, seen that and done it. Yet, there was a glint of almost child-like excitement in the eyes of Datuk Dr Mani Jegathesan as he prepared to leave yesterday for Athens as the chef-de-mission of the Malaysian contingent to the Olympics.
