KUALA LUMPUR, July 27 — National sailor Khairulnizam Mohd Afendy has managed to stay on track to achieve the target set for him at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics despite the strong winds and rough seas in his first six races.
However, the last two races are scheduled to be held on Friday at mid-afternoon and Mohd Afendy, based on his observation, fears that Khairulnizam could be derailed by the slow speed of the wind at that time. In today’s action, the 2014 and 2018 Asian Games silver medallist recorded positive results in each of his three races, finishing 29th in Race Four, 18th in Race Five and 13th in Race Six.
Meanwhile, in the women’s Laser Radial event, young national sensation Nur Shazrin Mohamad Latif continued to struggle to repeat her excellent opening day performance on Sunday and ended the day in 30th position in Race Five and 34th spot in Race Six.
