World Athletics Continental Tour: The Sports Authority of India’s (SAI) LNCPE Thiruvananthapuram centre was utilised as a high-performance training base for Malaysia’s Asian Games preparations in a month-long camp, which ended September 10.
The training camp included two Malaysian middle and long-distance athletes -- 800m athlete Wan Muhammad Fazri and 400m/800m runner Umar Osman. The duo trained under head coach Mohamed Azarudeen in this camp conducted by Malaysia Athletics.
