KUALA LUMPUR: National athletes are still carrying on with their training routines despite the fasting month. Sepak takraw player Farhan Adam, 28, said fasting was not an excuse to skip training as he was a national athlete. Fencer Natasha Ezzra Abu Bakar, meanwhile, was no stranger to training during Ramadan as she had done so since she was 14. The 26-year-old has been training at the National Sports Council in Bukit Jalil every Ramadan since, but things are a little different this year. "For the first time ever, I had the opportunity to undergo training in Ramadan in South Korea and was simply thrilled with the experience," she told Bernama when contacted.
