Track cyclist Datuk Azizulhasni Awang

KUALA LUMPUR: National track cycling ace Datuk Mohd Azizulhasni Awang’s hopes of advancing to the men’s sprint quarter-finals at the 2023 World Track Cycling Championships in Glasgow, Scotland were dashed after he was knocked out in the second round on Sunday (Aug 6).

Azizulhasni, who was up against Thomas Cornish in heat four, was eliminated after he tried to overtake the Australian with just half a lap to go during the race at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, resulting in his relegation.
