KUALA LUMPUR — Mark Leong remained peerless in the SEA Games men’s slalom competition as he retained his crown on Tuesday morning (Aug 29) at the Putrajaya Water Sports Complex.
The 19-year-old reigning Asian champion, who struck gold on his SEA Games debut two years ago, cleared three buoys at 58km/h with a 13m line to edge Indonesia’s Indra Hardinata, who cleared 1.5 buoys at the same speed and line.
It was the second gold of the morning for Singapore in waterskiing after Sasha Christian took gold in the women’s slalom earlier.
