Watson Nyambek (born 27 February 1976) from Miri, Sarawak is a Malaysian sprinter. He attended secondary education in SMK St.Columba.
Nyambek, under the tutelage of Canadian coach Daniel St Hilaire, had shot to fame in 1996 during the Malaysia Games, beating reigning 100m sprinter Azmi Ibrahim in the final. Nyambek astonished everyone by clocking 10.38 seconds, eclipsing the national record set by M Jegathesan (10.46 seconds, set during the Asian Games in 1966).
Two years later, Nyambek lowered this record to 10.30 seconds. [1]
