Medal record
|
Asong first drew media attention for breaking the United Kingdom Under-15 400 metres record in only his second race.
He won a gold medal in the 400 m at the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games, beating World Youth Championship silver medalist Alphas Kishoyian.[1] Asong added gold and silver medals at the 2011 European Youth Summer Olympic Festival.[2]
He represented Great Britain at the 2012 World Junior Championships in Athletics.[3]
Despite his early youth-group success, Asong was not able to translate his form into the senior ranks, and raced less regularly after 2014. His last recorded race was a single outing in 2020, aged 25, and he ceased competing thereafter.[4]
