Cycling: Azizul now aims for Olympics
By LIM TEIK HUAT

PETALING JAYA: Track cyclist Azizul Hasni Awang, bolstered by his gold medal-winning performance in the Asian Championships in Thailand recently, has turned his attention to winning a ticket to the Beijing Olympics.

Azizul: At the moment, the Asian champion抯 target is to win a gold medal in the Korat SEA Games.

As the continental winner of the keirin event, Azizul gets an automatic berth to compete in the World Championships in Manchester in March. The world meet is an Olympic qualification event.

In the Asian Championships, Azizul beat a class field, which included Japan's Olympic team sprint silver medal duo of Toshiyaki Fushimi and Masaki Inoue and Asian Games gold medallist Kang Dong-jin of South Korea.

The efforts speak volume of his abilities to make his dream come true.

Azizul has completed his gold medal collection in both junior and senior categories at the Asian level but the Terengganu-born lad, who left yesterday for Melbourne to resume training under Australian coach John Beasley, remains level headed.

揗y immediate task is to prepare for the SEA Games and I hope to make a golden debut in Thailand,

2 perak hari pertama - Basikal trek Piala Asia

Md. Edrus Md. Yunos mempamerkan pingat perak
yang dimenangi pada Kejohanan Basikal Trek Piala
Asia di Cheras, semalam. Gambar kecil: Pelumba
wanita negara, Fatehah Mustapha turut meraih
perak dalam acara pecut.

KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia membuka kempen pada hari pertama kejohanan basikal trek Piala Asia Sultan Azlan Shah dengan meraih dua pingat perak di Velodrom Kuala Lumpur, Cheras, semalam.

Pingat perak pertama negara diperoleh menerusi Fatehah Mustapha dalam acara 200m pecut wanita yang tewas kepada pelumba China, Li Qingyu pada perlumbaan akhir.

Keupayaan yang ditunjukkan anak kelahiran Terengganu itu di peringkat Asia ini walaupun tidak memenangi emas, masih satu berita baik buat kontinjen Malaysia ke Sukan SEA yang mana Fatehah turut menyertai acara yang sama di Korat.

Satu lagi pingat perak Malaysia semalam disumbang trio acara pecut berpasukan lelaki, Mohd. Junaidi Nasir, Mohd. Rizal Tisin dan Md. Edrus Md. Yunos.

Mereka tewas kepada trio Jepun pada perlumbaan akhir. Tempat ketiga menjadi milik pasukan China.

Ketiadaan Josiah Ng yang kini berada di Australia untuk menyertai trek Piala Dunia menyaksikan kita gagal meraih sebarang pingat dalam acara keirin lelaki, semalam.

Begitu juga demam selsema yang dihidapi prospek emas di Sukan SEA, Noor Azian Alias menyaksikan dia gagal menamatkan saingan dalam acara perlumbaan mata wanita.

Sementara itu, satu lagi pingat perak sudah pasti berada dalam tangan Malaysia apabila kuartet Mohd. Akmal Amrun, Jasmin Ruslan, Amir Mustafa Rusli dan Mohd. Harrif Salleh layak ke perlawanan akhir acara kejar mengejar berpasukan lelaki hari ini.
