Athletic career

In 2015, Ang ran 14.44s to set the national record for the 110m hurdles, which he bettered the same year during the 2015 SEA Games (14.38s). In 2017, he clocked 14.19s at the Thailand Open—after putting his medical studies at NUS on hold—but the record was not ratified. In 2019, he broke the national mark thrice: twice during the Singapore Open (14.27s and 14.26s) and once during the Asian Athletics Championships in Doha (14.25s). On 15 January 2022, Ang again rewrote the record for the 110m hurdles with a time of 14.16s. Eight days later, he became the first ever Singaporean to clock a sub-14 in the event, setting a new national mark of 13.97s at the Singapore National Championships and qualifying for the 2021 SEA Games in the process. There, he ran 13.94s to win a silver, Singapore's first medal at the event since 1989. On 1 April 2023, he rewrote his record after winning the Hong Kong Athletics Series 3 competition with a timing of 13.90s. Later in the same month, he ran 13.89s at the Singapore Open. On 10 May 2023, Ang clocked 13.83s to win the joint gold at the 2023 SEA Games in Phnom Penh; this was Singapore's first gold in the event since 1967. Ang took part in the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou. He clocked 13.90s in the heats to qualify for the final. Ang also holds the national record for indoor 60m hurdles (8.16s); his personal best for the same event outdoors is 7.22s. References
