ndonesia'€™s long-distance runner Agus Prayogo recovered from his overnight disappointment with a win in the 10,000-meter race on Wednesday at the National Stadium, Singapore, while Asian champion, long jumper Maria Natalia Londa, added a Southeast Asian (SEA) Games gold to her collection.

Agus, who lost to Vietnam'€™s Nguyen Van Lai in the 5,000m race on Tuesday, regained his top form to become the fastest man in the event, which also made up for his loss in the 2013 Myanmar Games.

He ran 29 minutes and 41.56 seconds to take his third Games gold in the 10,000m. In the 2011 Games in Palembang he grabbed the gold on the 5,000m.

Srisung Boonthung of Thailand came second in 30:05.22, followed by Myanmar'€™s Naing San in 30:26. 23. Van Lai languished in sixth place.

'€œIt seemed like he [Van Lai] was exhausted from yesterday'€™s race. I took advantage of his condition,'€ Agus told reporters after the race.

He said he dedicated the victory to the nation and his family.

On Tuesday, he had been leading the way before he let Van Lai overtake him half a lap away from the finish line. On Wednesday, he did not give his rivals the same chance.

Following a strategy of quickly taking a considerable lead from the start, Agus managed to keep a distance in front of Myanmar'€™s Naing Sen, who was seen trailing behind in the seventh lap.

In the 11th lap, Thailand'€™s runners Namkhet Sanchai and Srisung Boonthung were gaining on him, but he picked up his pace to expand his distance before sprinting in the last lap.

In the women'€™s long jump, Maria, who contributed a gold from her event to Indonesia'€™s total of four in last year'€™s Asian Games, scored her personal mark with 6.7m, much farther than the 6.34m she made in Incheon, South Korea.

Vietnam'€™s Bui Thi Thu Thao grabbed silver with 6.65m and Marestella Torres of the Philippines brought home bronze with 6.41m.

'€œI'€™ve trained for years and today is the day to prove it. I'€™m still adjusting from gravel to synthetic sand,'€ said the 24-year-old jumper.

She presented the gold medal to her coach who will be celebrating his birthday on June 29.

Indonesia grabbed two bronzes through seconds Adrian and Malik Zakaria.

In the men'€™s 400m hurdles, Adrian scored 51.36 seconds to finish behind gold medalist Shauwn Eric Cray of the Philippines and silver medalist Cong Lich Quach of Vietnam.

Malik Zakaria, in the men'€™s 1,500m decathlon, was also beaten by Philippine and Vietnamese rivals when Jesson Ramil Cid and Nguyen Van Hue did the honors for their respective countries.

Vietnam'€™s contingent ended the day'€™s competition on top with four golds. Thailand and Singapore collected the same number of golds as Indonesia, while Philippines got one.

As of Wednesday, Vietnam leads the medal standings with seven out of the 46 gold medals on offer. The Philippines came second with four gold, four silver and two bronze, while Indonesia was in third position with four gold, three silver and two bronze.
