My former coach used to tell me, “An athlete has to have CPF: commitment, perseverance and focus.”
It’s a quote I live by, and the reason why I still compete today!
I recently won the gold and silver medals for the high and long jump events at the 2019 Asia Masters Athletics Championships (veteran athletes aged 70 and above) in Kuching, Sarawak.
It was fun, and beating my competitors gives me an adrenaline rush.

I’m proud to say that I cleared a clean 0.85m for high jump this time – not far from my previous high-jump win (0.92m) at the 2013 International Gold Masters in Japan.
Competitions give me the opportunity to carry on the skills I learnt and have excelled in.
I switched from sprints to jump events in 2004 to try something new.
