Games-Thailand overtake Singapore in SEA Games medals table

SINGAPORE, June 12 (Reuters) - Thailand, propelled by their track and field team and ace golfers, overtook host nation Singapore at the top of the medal standings at the Southeast Asian Games on Friday.

Tiny Singapore had led the 11-nation table since the first medal was decided 10 days ago but a lean return on Friday saw the city-state slip back to second place.

With their crack swimming team unable to contribute any more after their programme ended on Thursday, Singapore could only muster four golds on Friday, two in taekwondo and one each in shooting and waterskiing.
