12th January 2026: Malaysian track cyclists delivered a striking performance at the first round of the ASEAN Track Series (President’s Cup), clinching three gold medals at the National Velodrome in Nilai. The results confirmed Malaysia’s strength in sprint and points-race disciplines within the regional cycling competition.
In the men’s elite sprint, national rider Muhammad Ridwan Shahrom prevailed in a tightly contested final against South Korea’s Kim Geunwoo. After the two riders traded wins, Ridwan secured the deciding race to take the gold medal, illustrating composure and tactical skill in the sprint format.
On the women’s side, Nurul Izzah Izzati Mohd Asri continued her strong form by dominating the women’s elite sprint final. She defeated Hong Kong’s Yeung Cho Yiu in straight games to claim her gold medal with authority.
Adding to Malaysia’s gold medal tally, Nur Aisyah Mohamad Zubir captured the top spot in the women’s elite elimination race. In this tactical, points-based event, Nur Aisyah outpaced her rivals to earn the title. Uzbekistan’s Kozieva Nafosat took silver, while China’s Chen Ning completed the podium with bronze.
These results form part of Malaysia’s strong showing in ASEAN-level track cycling competitions, building momentum ahead of further rounds of the President’s Cup series and other international fixtures.
Beyond the medals won in Nilai, other competitions during the same season have highlighted depth across the Malaysian track cycling squad. For instance, national cyclist Nur Alyssa Farid overcame knee pain to defend her women’s keirin title at a subsequent round of the ASEAN Track Series, underscoring resilience and competitive consistency among Malaysia’s riders.
Overall, Malaysia’s performance at the ASEAN Track Series illustrates the nation’s continued development in track sprint and endurance events within Southeast Asia, setting the stage for further success in upcoming international competitions.BR>
