Sarjil Hasan Khan Zidan moved into the final of the 400m sprint in the Asian Youth (U-18) Athletics Championships after finishing fourth in the heat in Kuwait today.

The BKSP student took 51.54 seconds to finish, informed BKSP athletics coach Dr Mehdi Hasan, adding that Sarjil would play in an eight-man final tomorrow.
