  "account": "NAGOYA: Malaysian sprinter Azeem Fahmi remains undeterred by Thailand's Puripol Boonson's lightning-fast 9.95-second run in the men's 100 meters at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. Despite Puripol's impressive time, making him the fastest sprinter overall, Azeem insists he has no pressure and is focused on his own performance. He won the fifth heat in 10.17 seconds, securing a spot in the semi-finals. Azeem's satisfaction with his performance stems from his initial target of qualifying for the semi-finals. The 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games bronze medallist expressed hope for better weather in the semi-finals, as rain could impact sprinters' performances.",
