Azizul gives good account of himself in first competition since heart surgery


Just like old times: Azizulhasni Awang reunites with coach John Beasley for the UCI Track Champions League series.

PETALING JAYA: Absence makes the heart grow fonder and how apt it was for track cyclist Azizulhasni Awang as he made his competitive comeback after 15 months at the venue where he made his first world championships debut.

Love for the sport drove him back on the track after undergoing an open heart surgery and his determination was rewarded when Azizul put himself in the top 10 standings in the UCI Track Champions League after the first stop in Mallorca, Spain, on Saturday.
