BANGKOK, Dec 20 \u2014 National track cycling trio Muhammad Fadhil Mohd Zonis, Mohamad Akmal Nazimi Jusena and Muhammad Ridwan Sahrom smashed the national record on their way to the gold medal of the 2025 SEA Games men\u2019s sprint at Hua Mark Velodrome here yesterday.<\/p>\n
Their time of one minute 0.520 seconds (s) erased the previous national record of 1:02.077s set by Datuk Mohd Azizulhasni Awang, Josiah Ng and Muhammad Edrus Md Yunos at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe really gave our 100 per cent. We held nothing back because we knew today was the last day for track cycling. So we thought \u2018no more\u2019, there\u2019s nothing to regret.<\/p>\n
\u201cAkmal gave 100 per cent, Ridwan delivered speed for me and I went full gas. This is our reward after a month of training camp in Chiang Mai. From early this year we have prepared specifically for the SEA Games,\u201d Muhammad Fadhil said when met after the final today.<\/p>\n
He said the open track favoured the Thai team of Yeaunyong Petcharat, Jai Angsuthasawit and Norasetthada Bunma, who recorded a time of 1:00.720 s for the silver, but they were more than capable of facing them thanks to continuous training at the Cheras Velodrome.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a senior cyclist, I am proud of the junior riders. Overall, a haul of four gold and one silver is very good for us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Besides today\u2019s gold medal, Malaysia also won the men\u2019s keirin gold through Muhammad Ridwan, the women\u2019s scratch gold (Nur Aisyah Zubir) and the men\u2019s team pursuit gold through Azim Aliyas, Hafiq Jafri, Yusri Shaari and New Joe Lau, as well as a silver through Joe Lau in the men\u2019s point race. \u2014 Bernama<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BANGKOK, Dec 20 \u2014 National track cycling trio Muhammad Fadhil Mohd Zonis, Mohamad Akmal Nazimi Jusena and Muhammad…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":359805,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[569],"tags":[64,63,196335,784,195572,196333,196334,196332,196331,85],"class_list":["post-359804","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cheras-velodrome","tag-cycling","tag-hua-mark-velodrome","tag-malaysian-track-cycling-record","tag-men039s-team-sprint-gold","tag-muhammad-fadhil-mohd-zonis","tag-sea-games-2025-track-cycling","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359804","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=359804"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359804\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/359805"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=359804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=359804"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=359804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
