Nagoya: Despite criticism from netizens who have compared him to Thai sprinter Puripol Boonson, Azeem Fahmi remains confident in his abilities as a young athlete. At just 22 years old, he believes he has ample time to make a mark on the international stage. Azeem expressed gratitude for the support from fans, but acknowledged that some have begun to doubt his potential following Puripol's impressive performance at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, where he became known as Asia's sprint king.
Azeem emphasized that he is still young and has many more achievements ahead. He attributed his success to the strength, support, and motivation from those around him, and vowed to return stronger after recovering from a groin injury that forced him out of the men's 100m final and the national 4x100m relay team.
