Azeem Fahmi: Malaysia's Sprint Star Continues to Shine
Azeem Fahmi, born on April 29, 2004, in Malaysia, has been a rising force in sprinting since breaking onto the international scene. The 21-year-old holds the Malaysian national record in the outdoor 100 meters with a blazing 10.09 seconds and has a history of breaking records in the indoor 60 meters, including a personal best of 6.56 seconds at the 2025 SEC Indoor Championships. Competing for Auburn University since 2022, Fahmi has contributed to relay successes, such as the 4x100-meter gold at the 2025 LSU Invitational. His 6.60-second run at the Blazer Invite not only secured the win but also shattered his previous national indoor record marks, underscoring his preparation for bigger stages like the NCAA Championships.
Fahmi's journey from Perak, Malaysia, to Auburn has been marked by consistent improvement and international accolades, including a bronze medal at the 2024 Asian Games. As a junior at Auburn, he remains focused on Olympic aspirations, having already represented Malaysia at the 2024 Paris Games.
