(Probably) the world’s largest sporting event is happening in Cambodia
The South-East Asian Games will include obstacle racing and jet skiing – and there are 581 medals at stake – nearly twice the number won at the last Olympics.
The South-east asian (SEA) Games, which begin in Cambodia on May 5, will be contested by just 11 countries. But with 581 medals at stake – nearly twice the number won at the last Olympics – they can claim to be the world’s biggest sporting event. Athletes will compete on the track, in the pool and in less traditional ways – including obstacle racing, jet-skiing and dance.
