>> May 27, 2017
Rayzam Shah Wan Sofian has finally made it, he wrote his name into Malaysian athletics' record books, and this time breaking Nur Herman Majid's 23-year-old national record of 13.73s.
The Sabahan has just clocked a time of 13.67s (+1.7) to win his final B race at the Kurpfalz Gala, a local track meeting at Weinheim, Germany. He ran 13.97 (0.0) in heats.
For a record, he won the gold medal at 2007 SEA Games, 10 years ago at age of 18.
Chance to win 2017 SEA Games
If he can finish the race, no doubt it's a gold medal. Closest rival is Laotian Anouxone Xaysa who has a personal best of 14.00s. Defending SEA games champion, Jamras Rittidet of Thailand is retired.
Chance to run at 2017 IAAF World championships
He must run 13.48s before 23 July.
