KUALA LUMPUR: There was no cheer for Savinder Kaur (pic) despite winning the 800m gold medal at the Thailand Open Track and Field Championships. I failed to come close to my personal best as there was no stiff competition,” said Savinder, who forked out RM8,000 to train in Kenya. She won the high jump (991 points), shot putt (583 points), long jump (709 points) and 800m (714 points) and finished second in the 100m hurdles (754 points). Malaysia also won a silver and two bronze medals in the second day of the meet. The SEA Games silver medallist’s effort was way off her national record of 1.83m.
