IN BRIEF
Phuket victory
Taiwan's Ko Shih Chieh yesterday won the Phuket International Marathon, while two Thai SEA Games gold medallists - Boonchu Chandecha and Boothung Srisang - were the best of the local runners.
Ko clocked three hours, 36 seconds for his victory. "The weather and the conditions were very difficult for me because there were many hills," said the 27 year-old, who finished 22nd place in the Italy Hill Marathon three years ago. Second place went to another Taiwanese, Chi Ming Chan, while Hong Kong's Loke Wai Tse was third. - The Nation.
