Results posted for 19th Asian Masters Athletics Championships
The five-day Asian Masters Athletics Championships, a WMA regional, wrapped up over the weekend with 2,000 athletes from 25 countries. Results are posted. The 19th edition of the biennial meet was held at the national stadium in Kallang, Singapore. Athletes outside the region competed, but not a lot. I loved entrants names — like M45 Indian thrower Desa Dineshchandra and M70 sprinter Kupp (probably truncated) Krishnaswamy. I got a kick out of seeing an 88-year-old long hurdler (Peng Xue Su of China ran the 200s in 1:06.66). A 99-year-old Taiwan sprinter was entered but was DNS in the 100 and 400. So the oldest performer was 91-year-old Vallabh Sriramulu of India, who did the 5K walk in 43:16.15. Two years ago, when Japan hosted the meet, American steeplechaser Dennis Scott (resident of the Philippines) competed. He doesn’t appear in this year’s results. But check them out for potential Perth entrants.

Congrads to Max Siu. He won the M60 sprint hurdles.
I think Max also won the long hurdles.
Our German friend spotted a W70 WR in the 80-meter hurdles at this meet:
