Zoom goes Azeem


Future speed merchant: Malaysia’s Mohd Azeem Mohd Fahmi has beaten the 100m and 200m qualifying times for the Under-20 World Junior Athletics Championships in Nairobi, Kenya.

KUALA LUMPUR: Sprinter Mohd Azeem Mohd Fahmi will turn 16 next year – and already he looks to have won a place in the Under-20 World Junior Athletics Championships, the same stage which saw the emergence of a young Jamaican called Usain Bolt in 2002.

Last month in the Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS) Open, the Perak lad clocked a personal best of 10.57 to win the boys’ Under-16 100m gold medal.
