Azizulhasni desak KBS serius, sedia noktahkan karier
Jaguh basikal trek negara tak tolak kemungkinan tarik diri daripada Sukan Asia, Kejohanan Dunia jika kerajaan gagal bukti komitmen Olimpik.
Azizulhasni Awang, a 38-year-old Malaysian cyclist, has expressed his readiness to participate in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, but remains uncertain about the commitment from the Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS) and the National Sports Council (MSN). Despite winning a gold medal in cycling keirin at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Azizulhasni's career could end if the government fails to decide on his continued participation in representing Malaysia.
The atlet has clarified that the current discussions are not solely about his desire to continue competing in Los Angeles 2028 but rather about whether Malaysia truly needs and wants him to continue. The issue is not just about his personal ambition to compete in LA 2028, but whether Malaysia genuinely requires and wishes for him to continue participating.
Azizulhasni emphasized that his decision would be easy to make once the Malaysian government finalizes its plan following the Asia Aichi-Nagoya Games. The ministry is currently investigating the operational needs involved in supporting Azizulhasni, focusing not only on financial considerations. While there have been positive discussions between both parties, Azizulhasni has strongly stated that he would be ready to retire his career if KBS fails to take the matter seriously, even if it involves national interests.
The upcoming World Championship, just two weeks after the Asian Games, marks the beginning of the qualification rounds for the Olympics.
