SINGAPORE — Singapore’s top runner Soh Rui Yong is back in the national fold after a successful appeal for his inclusion in the 2023 Southeast Asian (SEA) Games squad.

This marks the end of a more than five-year absence from major games for Soh, following several clashes with the Singapore National Olympic Council .

"Earlier this week, the SNOC Appeals Committee for SEA Games 2023 met with Soh Rui Yong and is satisfied with the progress he has made so far, and has as such allowed Singapore Athletics’ appeal for Soh Rui Yong’s selection for the 2023 SEA Games, subject to any conditions which may be imposed on his participation by SNOC as SNOC may consider reasonable and appropriate.

With the SEA Games beginning on May 5 — less than six weeks away — he said that the races will be a challenge for him considering the"short runway", although it's one that he is embracing. On whether he would return from the games with medals, Soh said he will be focusing on the process, rather than the outcome.

This led to a defamation suit by Liew against Soh, which Soh lost and had to pay Liew damages of S$180,000. Soh then appealed and lost that case as well.
