MALAYSIA - HOCKEY - SEAGAMES
This picture taken on August 26, 2019 shows players fighting for the puck during an underwater hockey training session ahead of the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in the Philippines later this year, at the National Aquatic Centre in Bukit Jalil, on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. Invented in the 1950s in Britain -- where it is known as "Octopush" -- to help divers keep fit during the winter months, the game has gained a small but dedicated following from Europe to Asia. This year the unusual discipline is set to debut at the Southeast Asian Games, the region's biennial mini-Olympics that attracts thousands of athletes.
