Asif just can’t get up and running


KUALA LUMPUR: Middle distance runner Asif Rahman Jiyadeen (pic) just cannot get going. The 22-year-old suffered a thigh muscle injury at the Sukma (Malaysia Games) in Ipoh in September, 2018 and was out for three months.

He returned to action early last year only to aggravate his injury at the Malaysian Closed in August. That saw him out for six months and just as he was getting ready to make his comeback in early March, the Covid-19 movement control order saw him grounded at home again.
