Dhuha chases Sukma redemption with best athlete crown in sight

Federal Territories swimmer Dhuha Zulfikry is determined to claim the best male athlete award at the Selangor Malaysia Games (Sukma). Having missed out on the accolade at the previous edition despite winning six gold medals, Dhuha is focusing on winning gold in all six of his individual events. He currently leads the competition in the men's 200m freestyle with a time of 1 minute, 51.91 seconds, while Samuel Lai of Penang finished second with a time of 1:52.34, and Goh Li Jie of Selangor took bronze with a time of 1:52.67.

Dhuha's pursuit of the best male athlete award is fueled by his desire to finally be recognized as the top athlete in the competition.
