Puripol Boonson – Puripol Boonson recently left his bold imprints in the continental tournament. In the Kazakhstan International Athletics, the 16 -year -old male athletes deeply broke his own record to win.
Accordingly, Puripol Boonson has reached the first finish in the 200m content with a achievement of 20 seconds 19, which is considered a new record of this athlete. Earlier, at the 31st SEA Games, Puripol set a achievement of 20 seconds 37 in the same content.
This impressive achievement also helped Puripol Boonson beyond the standard of the World Championship (20 seconds) in the US in July. This has been considered a big step of Puripol Boonson since being known to Asia with the achievement of 3 gold medals (100m, 200m and 4x100m) at the 31 SEA Games.
However, the Thai Athletics Federation is still considering to arrange the appropriate schedule for Puripol Boonson. Because the World Athletics Championship in the United States has a very close time to the World Young League in August in Colombia.
In the event of a world championship in Colombia, the Thai prodigy is considered to be able to compete for a medal. But this also means that Puripol Boonson will miss the world championship in the US in July.
Sharing before the media, Surapong Ariyamongkol, General Secretary of the Thai Athletics Association said: “We want him to focus on the U20 World Championship will be held from 1 to 6/8 in Colombia, where he will be able to win a medal.”
