Yesterday, "Negaraku" was played for the 1st time after lapse of 40 years in Asian Games veladrome. Azizulhasni Awang was the hero when he pedlled in a mounthwatering race. Josiah put the icing on the cake when he grabbed the silver medal.
When I was watching the race, there were 2 Chinese, 1 Japanese, 1 Iranian and our boys at the race. As the gun shot, the Chinese took the lead during the repecharge and towards the actual race, Azizul took the lead and followed by the chinese rider and Josiah blocked the other Chinese rider behind. But it was really close.
As It went to 2nd last lap, the Chinese rider whom was blocked by Josiah has scratched with him and fell and caused the Iran rider to had crashed with him too.
Luckyly, the Japanesee made a quick move to avoid the accident.
This made Azizul to lead the race till the finishing and Josiah made the sweet finishing by dipping by few inches infront of the other chinese rider.
The previous winners were Ng Joo Ngan (road race) and Daud Ibrahim (1.6km mass start) in 1970 Asian Games.
What I can say was, we can produce world beaters and also have good teamwork. Malaysia Boleh.
