“When I retire, perhaps I can organise the Azizulhasni Championship or something like that, but it is not relevant at the moment because I am still actively competing.
“I hope one day my dream will come true with the cooperation of the Youth and Sports Ministry as well as the National Sports Council,” he said as a guest at a forum titled ‘Misi Emas: Antara Minda, Tekad dan Daya’ that was organised by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and held virtually on Tuesday.
Apart from Azizulhasni, national gymnast Farah Ann Abdul Hadi and Tokyo Paralympics men’s singles badminton SU5 (physical impairment) gold medallist Cheah Liek Hou were also guests at the special forum.
Azizulhasni, who is nicknamed The Pocket Rocketman, explained that the main mission for organising the championship was also as a platform to improve the quality and performance of the competing cyclists, especially in raising their self-confidence to take part competitively.
