Azeem narrowly misses podium in world university games
National sprint ace Mohd Azeem Fahmi narrowly missed a podium finish in the men's 100m final at the World University Games. The Auburn University athlete clocked 10.35s, finishing fourth in a closely contested final in Bochum, Germany. Despite the disappointment, Azeem remained composed, exhibiting the maturity of an athlete familiar with setbacks. "These things happen," he said on Wednesday (July 23). "I gave it my all, and I'm grateful I finished the race." He added, "I did my best under tough weather conditions with a wet track from the rain. Competing in Europe was an adjustment, but that's no excuse." South Africa's Bayanda Joy Walaza won gold with 10.16s, followed by Thailand's Puripol Boonson (10.22s) and Japan's Hiroki Yanagita (10.23s). Azeem, a bronze medallist from the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, was just 0.12s off the top spot. He started well, leading the first 30 metres, but his competitors gained momentum, leaving him unable to catch up. Instead of letting the near-miss weigh him down, he is using it as motivation for growth. "I didn't come here just to make the final. My goal was to reach the podium, so missing out hurts even more," he added. "But in my career, I keep telling myself, there's a reason why things happen. I take this as a lesson to improve and hopefully achieve more success in the future." Azeem's perspective is shaped by his international experience, where consistency and resilience are as crucial as speed. Meanwhile, in the men's 400m event, fellow Malaysian Umar Osman failed to reach the final, placing 15th overall in the semi-finals with 47.10s. Despite mixed results, the outing in Germany serves as a valuable benchmark for Malaysia's young athletes with bigger meets ahead. Azeem will compete in the 200m and the 4x100m in Bochum. His message is clear; he may have missed the podium this time, but his ambition remains undeterred. The track has more in store, and he's far from done chasing greatness.

Pro teams ready to release cyclists for SEA Games if funding issue is resolved
Malaysia National Cycling Federation (MNCF) president Datuk Amarjit Singh Gill. PETALING JAYA: The National Sports Council (NSC) now holds the key after Malaysia Pro Cycling (MPC) and Terengganu Cycling Team (TSG) agreed to release their riders for the SEA Games in Thailand this December, following persuasion from the Malaysian National Cycling Federation (MNCF). All parties convened in Bukit Jalil today, with MNCF President Datuk Amarjit Singh Gill leading the meeting, alongside several top officials from the association. Malaysia Pro Cycling (MPC) was represented by Sporting Director Sayuti Zahit, while Terengganu Cycling Team (TSG) Chief Operating Officer Nasiruddin Wan Idrus attended virtually. Although the four-hour meeting ended without a conclusive decision, both teams expressed willingness to release their riders for the biennial Games, provided their previous requests are met. Amarjit viewed the meeting positively, noting the NSC's willingness to negotiate additional funding to support the teams' preparations for the SEA Games in Thailand. As a next step, the MNCF has given both teams a one-week deadline to submit a detailed breakdown of their proposed budgets, estimated to be around RM250,000 per team. 'We've asked both TSG and MPC to clearly outline their actual needs, including logistics, participation fees, and any additional or top-up costs required for the SEA Games. 'Once we receive the detailed budget, we can then prepare a working paper to be submitted to the NSC for consideration. The NSC has indicated their readiness to review the request for additional funding based on the proposed budget,' said Amarjit after the meeting. Amarjit believes the requests made by MPC and TSG are reasonable, involving essential technical matters such as spare parts, nutritional supplements, centralised training expenses, and other related costs. Once the MNCF receives the full breakdown of these expenses, he plans to engage the NSC again to secure the additional funding needed. Sayuti, while welcoming the meeting, said he is still waiting for a firm decision from the NSC at a follow-up meeting once the list requested by the MNCF is submitted. 'We're all looking for a solution, and we're hoping for a better outcome than before. Our requests remain the same, and we're appealing to the NSC to give us some room so we can find common ground and reach a compromise,' he said. So far, nine riders have been listed to represent the country in the road race event, comprising four from TSG, four from MPC, and one national rider. In total, Malaysia's cycling contingent for the SEA Games in Thailand will consist of 33 athletes across four disciplines: road (14 riders: nine men and five women), mountain bike (five riders: three men and two women), BMX (four riders: two men and two women), and track (11 riders: nine men and two women).

MPC prepared to meet NSC 'in the middle'
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Pro Cycling (MPC) team principal Sayuti Zahit is hoping they can come to a "win-win solution" with the National Sports Council (NSC) regarding funding for the Thailand Sea Games (Dec 9-20). Malaysia National Cycling Federation (MCNF) president Datuk Amarjit Singh Gill today (July 23) ordered the MNCF road cycling committee to prepare a new budget request for the Sea Games to be submitted to NSC by the end of the week. The new budget will take into consideration requests from TSG and MPC. Sayuti views the move positively. He attended a meeting to discuss preparations for the Sea Games together with representatives from NSC, MNCF and TSG in Bukit Jalil today. "I am grateful that everyone attended the meeting, especially the president (Amarjit). It shows that we are all working together to find a solution. Hopefully we will get a better outcome than before," said Sayuti. "Hopefully NSC will give us some leeway and meet us in the middle. We can compromise but let it be a win-win solution for all parties. "Once the new budget has been submitted we will wait to see what the counter-offer is like." NSC had early this year allocated RM300,000 to MNCF for road cycling though only RM196,000 remains after RM104,000 was spent on preparing and sending riders to compete at the Asian Championships in Thailand earlier this year. During a meeting with TSG, MPC and MNCF earlier this month, NSC had indicated that they were not keen on allocating additional funds for the Sea Games road cycling squad. MPC and Terengganu Cycling Team (TSG) subsequently stated that they will not release their riders for the biennial games if NSC does not meet their requests for funding. MPC had also requested for new time trial bikes. TSG had previously requested RM250,000 from NSC to cover training and competition expenses (at warm up races) to prepare their riders for the Sea Games. It is understood that MPC had been seeking a similar amount. It is, however, unlikely either team will get the full amount they have requested.
