MOHD Azeem Fahmi ran a superb anchor leg for Perak but the power-packed Terengganu quartet proved just too good for the sprint sensation in the men’s 4x100m relay at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil yesterday.

Azeem, who was eyeing three golds at the Games, had a monumental task as he was placed fifth at the final exchange with Amir Aiman Kamaruddin but managed to make ground and moved to second with a brilliant last 50-metre dash but it wasn’t enough to deny Terengganu.
