The runners won their respective first round heats last night at the Hangzhou Olympic Stadium.
HANGZHOU: Two Malaysian US-based runners – Azeem Fahmi and Shereen Samson Vallabouy – made a memorable Asian Games debut when they won their respective first round heats in style under the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival at the Hangzhou Olympic Stadium last night.
Talking to reporters after the race, Azeem said his target tonight was to win Heat 3 and advance to the next level. Meanwhile, Shereen advanced to the women’s 400m final after winning Heat 3, and she now hopes to end Malaysia’s 17-year medal drought in the Asiad tomorrow. “Feels great to make the final in my first Asian Games. My goal was to make it to the final and I am glad I did it. Hopefully, can give a medal to Malaysia… the two Bahrain girls are strong,” she said.
