TOKYO, Aug 4 ― National track cycling ace Mohd Azizulhasni Awang and Muhammad Shah Firdaus Sahrom got off to a good start in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as they both progressed to the 1/32 Finals of the men’s sprint event today.
Azizulhasni clocked 9.626 seconds to finish the qualifying round in the 17th place while Muhammad Shah Firdaus ended up in 23rd spot in 9.700s.
