The tears came in a flood for Azizulhasni Awang as soon as he won.He made his move in the keirin on the second-to-last bend, moved in front on the back straight, and crossed the finish line as the Commonwealth Games champion with his trademark mini wheelie.Then the emotional 38-year-old shed tears of joy while circling the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, when he got off his bike and raised the Malaysia flag, and during an emotional medal ceremony.Malaysia’s anthem rang out for only the second time in the history of Commonwealth Games cycling. It could have been Azizulhasni again but in 2010 in New Delhi he lost the keirin gold medal by disqualification for dangerously sprinting between rivals. Teammate Josiah Ng was promoted to first place.Azizulhasni has indicated he will retire after the world track championships in China in October. But his results this year have convinced Malaysian officials that he should keep racing to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.Azizulhasni Awang claimed just Malaysia’s second cycling gold ever at a Commonwealth Games.
