There was a large crowd who were standing around the field to give support to their teams. Before the events started, some of the athletes did their warm-up exercises before they took part in any of the events. Azmi took part in the 100 meters event. When he was called to the starting point, he was so excited but at the same time, he felt nervous. He ran very fast that he won the event.
