Athlete won 2 ASIAD silver medals, but Thai boss still decided to resign for surprising reason

Up to now at ASIAD 19, Thai athletics has won 2 silver medals thanks to Puripol Boonson (100m run) and the 4x100m relay team.

Athletics Federation of Thailand President Sant Sarutanond has decided to resign.

But Thai athletics has bigger ambitions than that and their goal is the gold medal.

Due to the team's poor performance, the President of the Athletics Federation of Thailand, Sant Sarutanond, has decided to resign.

At the same time, he also called on Thailand to quickly find a more suitable person to sit in the president's chair, thereby helping athletics in the land of golden temples develop.

“I take full responsibility for the disappointing performance of Thai athletics. At this time, I can only resign as President of the Athletics Federation of Thailand.

I hope that everyone will quickly find a more suitable person. I also withdraw from the Thai Olympic Committee," Mr. Sant Sarutanond announced on his personal page.

Mr. Sant Sarutanond is a police general in Thailand. He has been the President of the Athletics Federation of Thailand since 2012.

A few days ago, Thai media reported that Mr. Sant Sarutanond used money from the country's Athletics Federation to go to China to watch the 19th ASIAD.

However, the Thai police general confirmed that the information was false and that he used his own money to go to Hangzhou.
