Azizul was happy with his silver ride as it was the best achievement for Malaysia in cycling history at the Olympics after he raced to a bronze in the same event in Rio de Janeiro five years ago.
"I was carrying the heavy expectation as the last contender, the last Malaysian hope for a medal but I think I went through the motions calmly and I slept well last night after the quarter-finals."I just want to tell Malaysians back home that Mohd Shah Firdaus Sahrom and I tried our best today. Azizul led the charge from the rest of the field in second while reigning world champion Harrie Lavreysen of Holland ended in third.
Azizul had finished second in his quarter-finals heat behind Japan's Yuta Wakimoto to go through to the semis but Shah Firdaus, who had crashed heavily in the first round on Saturday, was eliminated.
You help to unite Malaysian! Congrats on your Olympic Silver Medal !
It’s not on you. It’s on Matthew. To us Malaysians, you’re the champion!
Silver is fine. Well done.
Tahniah setinggi-tingginya.
Being the only Asian in that race, silver is more than anything.
You went there to win gold, but you ended up uniting malaysians for a whole 3 minutes. I think that's worth more than gold.
Olympian title brings for entire life.
You came from the back to win silver! The way I see it, the second rider was holding everybody up. Winner was on turbo real early! Congrats!
Congratulations 🎉🥰👍👏
Better than nothing, Silverman pocket rocketman.
All factors considered, you have done your best. Congrats as your ARE the best.
you make malaysian proud. We are proud of you.
Good enough bro, well done. train ur junior for that in 4 yrs time.
Please bro there is no need for you to apologise. We are freaking proud of you.
The Brit was cheeky. He tricked everyone You did well Zul
Tapi honestly the win would be either sweet or frustration if the race for gold and silver very close to the finishing line. But it was not meant to be.
He came for Gold, he won every heart even for silver.
You still the best !
You still the best!!!
You are still our champion. Tahniah Azizul!
You are the slayer of giants Datuk. In a sport dominated by bigger men, you break the stigma and show them that size doesn’t matter and most importantly, you showed em how it’s done. This wasn’t your day, thanks to AUS but I never doubted you for a second.
Why are you sorry? At least you’ve done something good for the country compared to our politicians
Datuk, we would be as proud as now even if you didnt win a medal...
No need to apologise, we couldn't be more proud of you ! Congratulations!!!
He holds a silver, but the gold is him. Malaysian cycling legend
Syabas Dato. You're the best. Tq for the silver. It's a joy to see you in action. Tq so much from the bottom of our Malaysian hearts.
Contohi semangat AzizulAWANG ! Only do and want the best.
Terbaik 🇲🇾❤️ Alhamdullillah
