He’ll never say never


MALAYSIA-born sprinter Russel Nasir Taib, who lives in Australia, stole the show last year when he shattered the men’s 200m national record with a personal best of 20.77 at the Queensland Track Classic in Brisbane in March. He kept the momentum going by winning bronze in the 200m and silver in the 4x100m in his SEA Games debut in the Philippines last December. The 21-year-old is now dreaming of making his debut at the Tokyo Olympic Games and shared his aspiration with StarSport’s AFTAR SINGH.
