Azizul bags bronze, Shah Firdaus finishes fourth

NILAI: There was no double joy for Malaysia as Azizulhasni Awang, wearing the rainbow jersey as the reigning keirin world champion, settled for bronze in his pet race in the Asian Track Championships at the National Velodrome in Nilai, Negri Sembilan.

Hopes were high on either Azizul or Muhd Shah Firdaus Sahrom to deliver another gold for Malaysia in the elite ranks after Jupha Somnet had charged to a surprise win in the women’s points race on Friday.
