SERDANG: Danish Iftikhar Mohd Roslee believes he can go even faster in the 200m sprint if given the chance to compete in the Asian Games after his record-breaking win at the Malaysia Games (Sukma) yesterday.

The Johorean clocked 20.85s to eclipse Selangor’s Mohd Aqil Yasmin’s mark of 21.01s from 2018 en route to his third goal medal at the Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) Stadium.
