Nabilah eyes SEA Games after five-gold Sukma sign-off
NILAI: Kedah’s Nurul Nabilah Asri has now shifted her sights to next year’s Malaysia SEA Games after ending her Malaysia Games (Sukma) career on a high here on Sunday.
NILAI: Kedah cyclist Nurul Nabilah Asri has set her sights on the Malaysia SEA Games, having concluded her Malaysia Games (Sukma) career on a high with five gold medals. The 21-year-old rider edged out Terengganu's Ameera Alya Zahirrudin in a photo finish to claim the women's scratch race title at the National Velodrome. Nabilah's impressive Sukma campaign spanned three disciplines - mountain bike cross-country (Olympic XCO), criterium road race, and team sprint (track).
She expressed relief at clinching the scratch gold after a grueling competition. Nabilah credits her teammates, coaches, parents, and sponsors for their support. The younger sister of track cycling star Izzah Izzati prefers road cycling over track but aspires to earn a spot on the national team for the SEA Games. She competed in the SEA Games in Thailand last year, finishing sixth in the road race and hopes to improve upon that performance next year.
