KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 8 — What an incredible journey it has been for national track cycling ace Datuk Mohd Azizulhasni Awang.
The athlete from Dungun, Terengganu can also be of the fact that he is just one of two Malaysians to have managed to win Olympic silver medals in individual events besides national badminton legend Datuk Lee Chong Wei . His first coach, Rozimi Omar, who died in 2015, was the one who told Azizulhasni to focus on the track arena, even though he was capable of competing in many other events, including the BMX and MTB.
The sacrifices he made as a teenager led to him being admitted to the Bukit Jalil Sports School, where his talent and potential became more pronounced. Not even a horrific injury he suffered during the final leg of the World Cup Series in Manchester, England in 2011 where his calf was skewered by a 20-cm splinter could dampen his spirit to soldier on.
