PETALING JAYA: Nurul Izzah Izzati Mohd Asri has not even learnt how to pedal when Azizulhasni Awang went to Beijing to compete in his first Olympic Games in 2008.

The 20-year-old Izzah has certainly come a long way as a small sized girl growing up in Sungai Petani and now on the brink of making her first Olympic appearance in Paris.
