KUCHING: Malaysia’s top sprinter Mohd Azeem Fahmi won’t be short of challengers in the near future if the exploits of Johor’s Danish Iftikhar Mohd Rosli and Penang’s Sayyid Amin Roslan at the Malaysia Games (Sukma) in Sarawak are anything to go by.

Danish, only 17, won the 100m gold in a time of 10.53s. Although the mark is still way behind Azeem’s national record of 10.09, many believe Danish has what it takes to go faster soon due to his tall physique.
