As the 29th SEA Games are drawing to a close, we are extremely proud of our Malaysian athletes’ achievements in sweeping up those gold medals and watching the games with bated breath. During these matches, we also couldn’t help but notice that not only did the athletes have a super fit physique, they even have model good looks too.
So, we’ve rounded up some of these gorgeous and fit athletes from Malaysia and other countries (in no particular order) for you to drool over. Go stalk them on their social media if you want to keep drooling! 😉
1. Welson Sim (Swimming, Malaysia)
Our very own home-grown athlete who won the gold medal for the men’s swimming 200m freestyle recently, this heartthrob went viral after spectators everywhere spotted his toned bod and good looks.
2. Sarach Yooyen (Football, Thailand)
This footballer is an awesome player on the fields but on his days off, he loves to model in street fashion with poses that will make you swoon. Need I say more?
3. Lindswell Kwok, (Wushu, Indonesia)
This young lass is not just a pretty face because she certainly knows how to pack a punch as proven by her gold medal win for women’s taijiquan. She looks forward to competing in the upcoming Asian Games, which will be held in her home country next year. She’s super kawaii!
4. Pham Phuoc Hung (Gymnastics, Vietnam)

When he’s not practising his leaps, this dashing athlete can be found pursuing his many hobbies, which include playing musical instruments, photography and surfing. Sounds like an all-rounder!
6. HRH Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana (Equestrian, Thailand)
The only daughter of King Vajiralongkorn, this Thai royal is not one who is content to laze about in the palace. This year’s SEA Games is the eighth time she has represented Thailand and by the looks of it, this friendly princess definitely loves being active! #girlcrush
7. Irfan Fandi and Ikhsan Fandi (Football, Singapore)
Having a Singaporean football legend and former fashion model as parents has bestowed these two boys with great football talents and attractive features. Seriously, we can’t decide which one of ’em is better looking!

9. HRH Prince Abdul Mateen (Equestrian Polo, Brunei)

10. Niena Azman (Futsal, Malaysia)
This dazzling beauty has been the talk of the town ever since the SEA Games started, thanks to her formidable futsal skills. As our national team’s goalkeeper, she’s definitely a beauty with brains as she also holds a Bachelor in Sports Science degree.
11. Mark Leong (Waterski, Singapore)
Winning his first gold medal back when he was just a young boy during the 2015 SEA Games, this dapper young man with an adorable sweet smile defended his title to bag the gold medal again this time around. A smile like that will melt any girl’s heart!
