Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. C. Kunalan, one of the all-time greats in Singapore athletics, talks about running the mile in his schooldays. This changed when coach Tan Eng Yoon spotted him playing as a winger in a football team. Kunalan tells us why he decided to train for the sprints under Tan and how he got his first pair of spikes. He then takes us to his first major race – at the 1966 Asian Games in Bangkok.
