The international event takes place in various locations around the world and is also held frequently in our very own country. Recently, competitors from around the globe came to Malaysia to compete in Ironman Langkawi.
Those who finish at the top of their groups in each country will have a chance to compete in the Ironman World Championships.
The 2018 Ironman World Championships will take place in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii in October, and here's a pretty awesome news: one teenager will be representing Malaysia at the world championships!
17-year-old Lim Chee Yong from Langkawi has qualified for the world competition after finishing third in his age group at the Ironman Langkawi triathlon.
“It is a history of sorts as this is the first time a Langkawi-born athlete qualified for the prestigious world championship scheduled on Oct 13, 2018,” Ironman Malaysia managing director, CG Lim told Bernama.
Well congratulations Lim Chee Yong, we’re so proud of you! You’re off to a great start, especially at such a young age.
Who knows, you’ll even represent Malaysia at high profile sporting events such as the Olympics one day. Good luck!
