S2E85: En Garde!

On the programe this week, 29 year old national Epee fencer Joshua Koh, who recently racked in a silver medal at the 30th SEA Games in Phillipines. He is the top national fencer and number 167 in the world, most famously winning gold at the Palembang SEA Games in 2011 — a victory that effectively ended Malaysia’s 22 year barren run in the sport. He talks about his career so far, the niche but growing fencing community in Malaysia, his quest to qualify for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and more.

Also, our news roundup on The Good, The Bad & The Ugly - a 17 year old sprinter tested postive for two banned steroids, Melaka United Soccer Association not paying up, Kento Momota's unfortunate accident and more.

Produced by: Daryl Ong
