Teenager Danish leaves national sprinters in his dust at Cahya Mata
KUALA LUMPUR: Teenager Danish Iftikhar Roslee stunned a host of national sprinters to win the men's 100m gold medal at the Cahya Mata Super Series at Merdeka Stadium on Saturday. The 18-year-old clocked 10.57s to beat national sprinter Jonathan Nyepa (10.66) and Penang's Tan Zhi Hang (10.70) to the line. Khairul Hafiz Jantan, the 2017 KL Sea Games champion, was fourth in 10.74. Although Danish's time was slower than his personal best of 10.47 set last year, the Johor-born student was thrilled to outpace the national sprinters. "I never expected to win the race against the best in the country. Surprisingly, I led from start to finish," said Danish, who scored 5As, 2Bs and 1C in his Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) exams. Several German sprinters competed as guests in the semi-finals to prepare for the World Relay Championships in Guangzhou, China, on May 11-12. "It was an honour to race against the German sprinters in the semi-finals. I did well to clock 10.56 and finish third behind Julian Wagner (10.40) and Heiko Gussmann (10.45)," added Danish, who hopes to race at the Asian Championships in Gumi, South Korea, on May 27-31. Meanwhile, Zaidatul Husniah Zulkifli, the national record holder at 11.49, clocked 11.72 to win the women's 100m final. Sabah's Nur Aishah Rofina Zulkifli was second in 11.80, while Azreen Nabia Alias of Malaysia Athletics came in third with 11.83.

KUALA LUMPUR: Studies and sports can be a good mix as proven by a group of athletes cum students who have passed their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) with flying colours. Among the high-achievers are national junior track cyclist Dania Avriel Alviera Azif, volleyball player Lee Xin Nee, youth bowler Intan Nor Edryana Nor Azliman and rhythmic gymnast Lim Xian Yar. Dania went through lots of stressful moments juggling her studies and devoting time to training last year but it has all paid off after she scored 10As. The student from SMK Desa Cempaka in Nilai received the good news with a mix of joy and relief. "I'm beyond grateful to share that I have achieved straight As in my SPM. It wasn't an easy journey, full of sleepless nights, tears, doubts and countless prayers," said Dania posted on Instagram. "But with perseverance, support from my family, teachers, friends, and most importantly, Allah's guidance, I made it through. Dania have not only shone in her academic studies but she has done well in her cycling career too. Dania, who focuses on endurance events, won the silver in Omnium in the Asian Championships in New Delhi, India last year. She continued her good run by picking up bronze in the scratch race at the Asian meet in February this year. "I hope to fight for selection for the 2027 SEA Games (in Kuala Lumpur). One does not have to neglect studies while pursing track cycling as it can be done with proper time management," added Dania, who has never failed to pack her books along when she is on international assignment. Like Dania, Xin Nee also showed that she was as sharp in the classroom as she was with her spikes, scoring 10As as well. Other Bukit Jalil Sports School students who had outstanding SPM results were national youth bowler Intan Nor Edryana Nor Azliman who scored 9As and rhythmic gymnast Lim Xian Yar, who scored 7As and 3Bs.
