: National sprint champion Muhammad Azeem Mohd Fahmi has made the Paris Olympics 2024 as his biggest target this year, to realise his dream of making a debut at the world’s prestigious sports games.
The athlete, who will turn 20 next month, plans to start his mission for Paris 2024 scheduled in July, during Ramadan. “Why me and the coach chose to compete in the first week of Ramadan is because I am confident that my body is still in the best condition even though I have started fasting for several days.
Azeem’s challenge at the tournament in Atlanta is to record a time under 10.20s which is not far off his season best of 10.11s last year and his national record of 10.09s set at the 2022 World Under-20 Athletics Championships.
