PETALING JAYA: The Tokyo Games has not event started but track cyclist Azizulhasni Awang is already thinking about a fifth Olympic Games appearance in Paris. Azizul wants to pedal on even if he delivers a historic gold medal from Tokyo. “The typical mentality before is that an athlete should retire when they get older, ” said Azizul. “Before I went to the Rio Olympics, some people were saying that I was old and had no chance to be on the podium. “To be honest, I am excited to go for Tokyo but I don’t mind if the Games is cancelled, ” he said.
