Tokyo on his mind

Hard at work: Azizulhasni Awang lifting weights under the watchful eyes of coach John Beasley.

MALAYSIA’S Azizulhasni Awang is always the shortest during medal presentation on the podium but his small build has not hindered him from walking tall when it comes to achievements in international track cycling. Azizul, nicknamed the ‘The Pocket Rocketman’, will be aiming to win the first Olympic gold medal for Malaysia in Tokyo next year. The 31-year-old, who became the nation’s first world champion in track cycling two years ago, shares with StarSport’s LIM TEIK HUAT on his plans ahead of next year’s Olympics.
