THEY don’t call him Lego Sam for nothing. Sam Jee Lek let his legs and arms do the talking as he swaggered and flipped to put together a gold medal winning performance in the men’s breakdance event.

Filipinos were lining up at 6am to get into the venue, the size of a wedding hall in Malaysia, for the one-day dancesport competition, which saw all 13 gold medals decided.
