Dr Myint Mo Oo, daughter of Myanmarโs prominent actor-turned-humanitarian U Kyaw Thu, made history at the Sydney Marathon 2025 on Sunday by completing the race in full Myanmar traditional dress, setting a Guinness World Record for the fastest marathon run in traditional attire.
Wearing the complete national dress instead of conventional sportswear, Dr Myint Mo Oo ran the 42.2 km (26 miles) course in 4 hours, 12 minutes, and 19 seconds, drawing international attention not only for her athletic achievement but also for her symbolic message.
She said her participation was intended to ensure the world does not forget Myanmar, highlighting the ongoing crisis, including deadly airstrikes, attacks on civilians, and other brutal acts by the military junta. She also highlighted that her action served as a protest against the juntaโs sham election, which aims to legitimise military rule.
Dr Myint Mo Oo is the daughter of U Kyaw Thu, one of Myanmarโs most renowned actors, a two-time Myanmar Academy Award winner, film director, and founder and chairperson of the Free Funeral Service Society (FFSS) in Yangon, a respected humanitarian organisation. He has long been active in social and charitable causes.
