Close at the finish line, but only on account of how he accelerated with 350 metres to go. I've watched loads of good sprints in my time; mostly all are exciting, but this came from being slightly boxed in with 500m to go. The acceleration is just so wonderful. Great effort by Azizulhasni Awang too but the boss is back
