Azeem Fahmi, a Malaysian sprinter, is confident his country's 4x100m relay team has the potential to make a surprising appearance at the upcoming Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, starting on September 19. Anchoring the team, Azeem recently secured gold in the Oman Grand Prix with a time of 39.18 seconds, just narrowly missing the national record of 39.03 seconds set during the 2025 Thailand SEA Games.
The Malaysian 4x100m relay team, consisting of Pengiran Aidil Auf Hajam, Danish Iftikhar Roslee, and Umaira Subri, narrowly missed the record in Muscat. Azeem expressed excitement about leading a new generation of sprinters and a new 4x100m relay team, despite strong competition from China, Japan, and South Korea. He acknowledged that these countries are formidable, but believes the Malaysian team can execute their race well and capitalize on potential opportunities during the games.
