SINGAPORE : The team from Singapore has won 'The Amazing Race Asia 2'.

Gym buddies Adrian Yap, 27, and Collin Low, 35, beat nine other teams in a race that started in Singapore and took them across four continents in 24 days.

What is more amazing is Adrian is hearing-impaired, making it the first time in the Amazing Race history that a disabled person has emerged as a winner.

Collin says his partner's disability actually proved to be an advantage.

They communicated in sign language when they did not want others to know about their strategies.

The Singapore pair edged out Malaysian sisters Vanessa and Pamela Chong, as well as hot favourites Marc and Rovilson from the Philippines, to win the US$100,000 prize. - CNA/de
