Dhiban, who is the midst of preparing for the Jakarta SEA Games in November, won the Men’s Open 10,000m while Norliana walked away with the gold medal in the Women’s Open 3,000

Dhiban clocked an impressive 46:32 to finish the race almost two laps ahead of Mohd Aziz Anuar (50:54) and B. Anipoobarathi (53:25).

The programme was organised by the RWAM, with support from Milo, as part of the junior development programme.

RWAM secretary Yap Woon How said the programme was to encourage juniors to be active in race walking.

“We are encouraged with the response from the students. We have very good response from the boys and girls in the Under-12 and Under-15 age groups.

“We hope to see these walkers continue their training and also participate in local age group competitions. Later this year, we will be organising another competition. We expect another encouraging participation,” said Woon How.

Former international R. Mogan, who is now coaching the Negri Sembilan juniors, said it was time for more walking events to be held in the country.

“The RWAM should be praised for their efforts in the promoting race walking among juniors. But the senior walkers will be happy if the 20,000m event is also included in the programme.

“Our walkers will be able to gauge their progress for international competitions like the SEA Games,” said Mogan.

Mogan was also pleased with his other proteges’ performances in the championships. They are R. Eswaran, B. Anipoobarathi and Hanubarathi.

Eswaran was the winner in the boys’ Under-15 category when he completed the 2,000m walk in 9:18. He was also the overall champion.
