Azeem hopes to turn the tide in India


KUALA LUMPUR: National sprinter Mohd Azeem Fahmi is set to compete in next week’s Indian Open, determined to bounce back from his disappointing outing at last month’s Rhine-Ruhr World University Games.

Despite making history at the Games by becoming the first Malaysian to make the men’s 100m final and finishing fourth in 10.35s, the 21-year-old feels that it did not reflect his true performance, having clocked a season best of 10.20s in the United States in May.
