NILAI - National ace Datuk Mohd Azizulhasni Awang has got his hands back on the Asian sprint title after emerging victorious in the Asian Track Cycling Championships (ACC) 2023 at the National Velodrome, here, tonight.

The 35-year-old, who had won the sprint title six times - in 2008, 2009, 2014, 2017, 2019 and 2020 - before skipping last year’s edition to recover from open heart surgery, beat Jakarta Nations Cup silver medallist Kaiya Ota of Japan 2-0 (9.924s, 9.828s) in the men’s elite sprint final for a record 11th gold medal overall in the championships.

Earlier in the semi-finals, the Pocket Rocketman, knocked out defending champion Kento Yamasaki of Japan 2-0.

After a day’s rest, Mohd Azizulhasni will begin his quest for his first Asian keirin title in eight years, having last triumphed in his pet event at the 2015 edition in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.

A victory tomorrow will see him repeat his two-gold feat in sprint and keirin that he achieved at the 2008 edition in Nara, Japan, where he also claimed the team sprint silver medal.
