By T. AVINESHWARAN

Pumped up: 100m champion Mohd Azeem Fahmi training hard for the men’s final today. — S.S.KANESAN/The Star

A WEEK before any race, national sprinter Mohd Azeem Fahmi would set his song playlist so he is ready to rock on the track.

Fittingly enough, the 19-year-old Auburn University athlete is a fan of indie rock (independent rock) from Malaysia and Indonesia, listening to bands like Hujan, Butterfingers, Bunkface and Efek Rumah Kaca.
