KUALA LUMPUR: Danish Iftikhar Roslee ran a blistering race to smash the men's 200m Malaysia Games (Sukma) record by clocking 20.85 seconds in the final at the UPM Stadium in Serdang on Tuesday.
Danish Iftikhar Roslee of Johor set a blistering pace at the Sukma Games in Malaysia, breaking the men's 200m record with a time of 20.85 seconds. His achievement eclipsed the previous record of 21.01 seconds set by Aqil Yasmin in 2018. Danish's previous personal best was 20.73 seconds, which he established at the Thailand Sea Games last year.
The young athlete came close to shaving off the national record of 20.73, set during the 200m race at the Thailand Sea Games. Danish's win marked his third gold medal in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m events, both earning him Sukma records in the 200m and 4x100m races.
