He’s Soh, so fast!


Starstruck: Soh Wai Ching posing with Winter Soldier actor Sebastian Stan after winning the Empire State Building Run-Up in New York.

PETALING JAYA: It is unimaginable for anyone to be able to reach the top of a 86-floor building in just under 11 minutes but that is what Malaysian tower runner Soh Wai Ching has done.

Wai Ching won the Empire State Building Run-Up (ESBRU) in New York on Tuesday after conquering all 1,576 stairs in 10 minutes and 40 seconds, the first Asian to do so.
