PETALING JAYA: National sprinter Mohd Azeem Fahmi may have won his first medal of the year but he wasn’t all that pleased.

The 19-year-old posted a time of 10.38s to finish third in the 100m dash of the Yellow Jacket Invitational at George C. Griffin Track in Alabama on Saturday but wished he had recorded a better time after all the hard work.
