PETALING JAYA: National hurdler Mohd Fakhrul Afizul Nasir was not fully fit but that did not stop him from smashing his own 400m hurdles national record to claim gold at the Varsity Track & Field (VTF) Two Championships at Stadium Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA) in Terengganu on Friday.
Coach Amirul Naim Abdul Ghani revealed that Fakrul had to deal with an ankle problem but still managed to record a blistering 50.72s, erasing the 51.11s he had set at the 2024 Malaysia Games (Sukma) in Kuching – a mark that had stood for two years.
