KUALA LUMPUR:
National track cycling ace Azizulhasni Awang made amends for his exit in the men’s sprint quarter-finals by clinching bronze in the men’s keirin event at the 2024 AusCycling Track National Championships in Brisbane today.

The final event saw Azizulhasni, dubbed the Pocket Rocketman, taking to the podium alongside Western Australian cyclist and 2022 Commonwealth Games men’s sprint gold medallist, Matthew Richardson, who was crowned as the champion. Matthew Glaetzer of South Australia claimed the silver medal.

Yesterday, the 36-year-old Azizulhasni went down 0-2 to Glaetzer in the men’s sprint quarter-finals.

The five-day tournament ends on March 5.
