His mark at the World Championships made him the Bhutanese record holder in the 100 metres,[3] and though that mark was since broken he still holds the record in the long jump with a mark of 6.74 m.[4] At the championships, Dendup was noted for having a first name that sounded like "Stache".[5] He improved his personal best and the old national record by half a second. Despite this, after the race, Dendup told the Gulf Times, "The time was not so good."[6]
