The following was extracted from a report “the monday interview with C. Kunalan - Champion of life - Sprinter C. Kunalan embodies the Olympic values of friendship, excellence and respect on and off the track, by john lui” of the Straits Times dated 1 March 2010.

“He has a resting heart rate of 55 beats a minute when the average male has a rate of about 70. Stronger hearts do not need to beat as fast. World-class athletes such as swimmer Michael Phelps have very low rates - in the 30s.”
