The under-10-second mark at the SEA Games caused a sensation in Southeast Asian athletics.

On the evening of December 11th, Southeast Asian athletics had a "man who ran under 10 seconds," and that was Thai prodigy Puripol Boonson.

Booson broke the 10-second mark in the area.

In the 100m race at the 33rd SEA Games, Puripol Boonson finished with a time of 9.99 seconds, becoming the first athlete from the region to break the 10-second mark. Boonson's achievement was once considered a luxury dream for Southeast Asian athletes due to limitations in talent, training conditions, and physical fitness.

In the final, the "speed prodigy" demonstrated absolute superiority. He started fast, maintaining a steady pace from 30m to 80m – the crucial stage of the short-distance race – before sprinting to the finish line amidst the cheers of the Thai audience.

The moment the clock stopped at 9.99 seconds, the entire stadium erupted in a state of extreme excitement, confirming that the 18-year-old talent was on a level far superior to the rest.

The victory earned Boonson the prestigious gold medal and propelled him straight into the ranks of Asia's most promising athletes. With his current form, Puripol is considered a strong contender for an Olympic spot and can compete on equal footing at international Grand Prix events.

Boonson's achievement of breaking the previously thought impossible limit for Southeast Asian athletes also marks a significant turning point for regional athletics. From now on, the 100m gold medal table has a new milestone – and its name is Puripol Boonson.

A new era of speed has begun. Boonson has done it. And he's only just begun.
