KUALA LUMPUR, July 11 — Athletics coach M. Balamurugan wants sprinter Azreen Nabila Alias to use the Tokyo Olympics as an opportunity to gain invaluable experience on the global stage.
“I don’t want Azreen to feel demoralised and anxious when she competes against the world’s best sprinters in the Olympics. After national high jumper Lee Hup Wei qualified on merit for the Tokyo Olympics, World Athletics offered the Malaysian Athletics Federation an Olympic wildcard for a female athlete to compete in Tokyo and Azreen got the nod.
However, Balamurugan admitted that, based on her performance in training, a more realistic timing for her would be between 11.9s and 12.2s.
