Azizulhasni Awang

Known as the "Pocket Rocketman" for his explosive sprint on the velodrome track, Azizulhasni Awang became the first Malaysian to win a World Cycling Championship medal in 2012 and followed it with World Championship gold in the Keirin event — putting Malaysian cycling on a world map where it had never previously appeared. His 2020 Tokyo Olympics bronze was celebrated as a national milestone.
