His previous attempt at Paris 2024 ended in disqualification due to an overtaking mistake during a keirin race, leaving him heartbroken. The 38-year-old cyclist, who took a break from track cycling after Paris 2024, recently announced his return to the sport. Azizulhasni expressed that he was unsatisfied with his performance during Paris 2024 and was not able to showcase his full potential. He returned to the sport with the sole purpose of qualifying for the upcoming Olympics and securing his legacy, hoping to make it his sixth edition. Despite his age, Azizulhasni is in peak form, having won multiple medals in recent competitions including the UCI World Cup Series, Glasgow Commonwealth Games, and Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. He continues to receive incentives through the National Sports Incentive Scheme (Shakam) to motivate him as an athlete. The cyclist's next challenge will be the Asian Championships in Nilai from January 31 to February 6, where he will gain crucial ranking points for Olympic qualification.",
