Go Cambodia! Cheering on the 2017 SEA Games team.

PM cheers on SEA Games squad
4 August 2017
- Prime Minister HE received a delegation of more than 270 of the kingdom’s finest athletes and officials to the Peace Palace yesterday ahead of their departure for the Kuala Lumpur SEA Games this month.

Cambodia will look to improve on the solitary gold won in Singapore – the national men’s chinlone squad claiming the kingdom’s only gold medal.
Cambodia took top honours in the four-team, chinlone-linking event of the Sepak Takraw competition after defeating Laos 2-0 in the final. Cambodia also claimed five silvers and nine bronze medals.

Medal winners were rewarded with more than $400,000 and the Prime Minister, a keen golfer, has often stressed the importance his government places on sporting success.

Each Singapore SEA Games gold medallist received $10,000, silver medallists got $7,500, while those bringing home a bronze received $4,000.

Potential prize money for this year’s competitors is yet to be revealed though Mr HE did increase athletes and officials travel allowance from $300 to $500. A total of 276 athletes and officials will represent Cambodia in Kuala Lumpur.

The all-time tally of medals for the SEA Games:
Image
Cambodia, who will compete in 24 sports, are keen to improve on the solitary gold won in Singapore – the national men’s Chinlone squad claiming the kingdom’s only gold medal. Cambodia took top honours in the four-team, chinlone-linking event of the Sepak Takraw competition after defeating Laos 2-0 in the final. Cambodia also claimed 5 silvers and 9 bronze medals.

2015 Medal winners were rewarded with more than $400,000 and the Prime Minister, an avid golfer himself, has often stressed the significance his government places on sporting success. Each SEA Games gold medallist is set to receive $10,000, silver medallists can expect $7,500, while those bringing home a bronze will be rewarded with $4,000.

Cambodia’s contingent to the Myanmar edition in 2013 remains the target to beat. There they achieved an all-time high medal count; eight gold medals, 11 silver and 28 bronze.

The kingdom’s best chances of medals are expected to come from sepak takraw, taekwondo, petanque, boxing, tennis, and karate.

The competition, the 29th edition of the Games, will be contested between August 19-30 and features 404 events in 38 sporting disciplines.
