After 18 long years donning the Jalur Gemilang at the highest level, national high-jumper Lee Hup Wei hung up his spikes in March, calling the curtain on his illustrious athletics career. The experienced 35 year old will be part of the national setup grooming the next generation of high-jumpers. He's the first Malaysian track and field athlete to reach the final at the 2019 Doha World Championships & a 4 time SEA Games gold-medalist. Hup Wei joins us on the program, as we reminisce on his years of service.
