WATCH: In a heartwarming display of sportsmanship, Singapore runner Soh Rui Yong shares his drink with a competitor who had missed his cup at the water point during the men's 10,000m race at the SEA Games.
"I do think it's my last ever track race, because from next SEA Games onwards, I am going to be racing the marathon and I'd like to get the gold medal there," said Soh, who is a two-time Games marathon champion.
The Singaporean finished in 31:10.70, behind Indonesia’s Rikki Marthin Luther Simbolon to take his first podium finish of the Games and erasing his previous national record of 31:12.05. The country's last medallist in the men's 10,000m was Jagtar Singh, who won bronze at the 1983 Games.
