IT’S just unfortunate that when national woman high jumper Yap Sean Yee clinched the gold at the Clark Stadium, nobody knew anything about her achievement as the crowd was busy watching the track events unfolding. Finally, when the official announcement was made, both Sean Yee and Thailand’s Boonwan Wanida were declared joint gold medallists. Sean Yee explained why she decided not to go for a higher jump. After being tied on countback, we shook hands and decided not to be greedy by going for another jump. In a photo finish, Filipino Clinton Kingsley Bautista was awarded the gold and Rayzam the silver despite both clocking 13.97s.
