Debutant Nurul makes history in Asian C’ships


New sensation: Nurul Izzah Izzati Mohd Asri topped the timesheets in 35.499s – achieving a top speed of 50.705 kilometres per hour – to claim the gold.

PETALING JAYA: Youngster Nurul Izzah Izzati Mohd Asri only joined the national cycling team early this year but she has matched what only Azizulhasni Awang has managed to do so far – to win gold in a debut campaign in the elite ranks of the Asian Track Cycling Championships.

The 19-year-old rode her way into the history books as Malaysia’s first ever gold medallist in the women’s 500m time trial event at the Asian meet in New Delhi, India.
