World number one tower-runner, Malaysian Soh Wai Ching, won his second title last Saturday in the Europe Tower-running Championships and dedicated his win to Malaysians as a celebration of our 65th Independence Day and the upcoming Malaysia Day on Sept 16.
Wai Ching said among his goals was to beat the course records for Cologne and Zagreb. However, he only managed to break the record for Cologne at three minutes and 17 seconds which is six seconds faster than the previous record held by German tower-runner Christian Reidl. Wai Ching, who has a RM111,600 sponsorship from the Better Malaysia Foundation that runs from July this year to June next year, said the sponsorship helped him to find accommodations and time to train ahead of the event.
“The BMF sponsorship supports me and I used part of the sponsorship money to help other potential Malaysian tower-runners such as Low Keng Yik, and Chin Hong Zhang to travel to Singapore in early July to take part in the National Vertical Marathon at the Suntec Tower.
