7M Sports - MANAGEMENT of TALENT:
CM Amir Faiz Amirul
Sunday. 17th November 2019
F.T. of KUALA LUMPUR



( Wisma OCM, Kuala Lumpur )


( Amir Faiz Amirul and other Medalists with Medal Presenter )






The Last HURRAH, in his last U12 competition Amir Faiz Amirul confounded the field and against all odds qualified for the finals of the Malaysian Fencing Federation(MFF) U12 Sabre event held in Wisma OCM, F.T.Kuala Lumpur.


( Ranked 10th after Preliminary Rounds )



Finally, after numerous attempts CM Amir Faiz Amirul managed to qualify for his FIRST National Fencing finals competition organised by the Malaysian Fencing Federation (MFF) at Wisma OCM, Kuala Lumpur. We (Coach Zul and I) were not expecting much in Faiz's last competition in the U12 category especially since against my advice,  he decided to focus and compete only in the Sabre event instead of his 'perceived' stronger foil event where he regularly qualifies for the 1/16 or, Quarter-Final stages for the last 2-3 years.


Lo and behold, to everyone's surprise (including Coach Zul and I) he managed to qualify for the finals despite finishing 4th in his pool. Along the way he disposed 3 Sabreurs ranked higher than him(seeded 10th) including the 2nd seed from IFCM (others were the 6th & 7th ranked)
