Karate: Rayner pays a heavy price

KUALA LUMPUR: Karate exponent Rayner Kinsiong knew that he had to reduce his weight six months before last November's Manila SEA Games when he was told to switch from the Under-80kg to 75kg category of the kumite contest. 

The 27-year-old Sabahan cut down on his meal, took weight reductions supplements, trained harder and did Malaysia proud by winning a silver medal at the Games.
