He knew he was the champion when none of his rivals managed to clear anything higher than 4.3m, but Idan Fauzan Richsan wanted more.
At Bishan Stadium yesterday, he repeatedly cleared the bar with ease as he broke the Asean Schools Games (ASG) boys’ pole vault record multiple times before finally failing at 5.1m.
His final successful clearance at 5m was 35cm higher than the previous record of 4.65m set by Kontawat Thathiraparp of Thailand in 2013.
