HANOI, May 14 — National hammer thrower Jackie Wong Siew Cheer had to go through various challenges and trials, before coming back to grab the event’s gold medal at the 31st SEA Games today.
Jackie’s path continued to be thorny when two weeks ago he was informed that the SEA Games men’s hammer event, had been cancelled due to lack of participation, with only two athletes from Malaysia and one from Thailand registered to participate. “Then for three months, I could not train after being hit by a hammer, and felt dizzy and nauseous while training. So, I can say this gold medal is a gift from God to me,” he told reporters at the My Dinh National Stadium here today.
