SHAH ALAM – National track cycling ace Datuk Azizulhasni Awang received a boost from 100Plus.
The isotonic beverage brand announced today at the F&N town hall session that Azizulhasni has been appointed as its brand ambassador for the next two years.
“Azizulhasni is an inspiration to Malaysians of all ages. His attitude, commitment, perseverance, and determination to succeed at the highest levels is unparalleled.
“He defied tremendous odds, which included a horrendous accident and a major surgery and regained his place among the world’s best.
“He is undoubtedly amongst the best track cyclists in the world and we want to support him in his quest to be an Olympic champion,” said F&N Beverages marketing business director Leong Wai Yin.
Also present were Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd chairman Tengku Syarif Bendahara Perlis Syed Badarudin Jamalullail Ibni Almarhum Tuanku Syed Putra Jamalullail and FNBH chief executive Lim Yew Hoe.
Azizulhasni, an Olympic silver medallist and former keirin world championship winner, recently completed a sensational double at the Asian Track Cycling Championship in Nilai, winning the keirin and the sprint gold medals.
His stunning performances against the top riders in Asia resulted in his world ranking, rising to third in the keirin and sixth in the sprint.
All eyes will now be on Azizulhasni when he competes in the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China from September 23 to October 8.
“Training and preparing to secure the top prizes at major competitions like the Asian Games and Olympics requires a substantial volume of resources.
“I am grateful 100Plus has stepped up to support me in my quest to succeed on the world stage,” said the Dungun-born track cyclist.
Azizulhasni joins badminton great Datuk Lee Chong Wei, men’s singles star Lee Zii Jia and Ng Tze Yong, men’s doubles world champions Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik, and women’s doubles French Open champion Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah as the brand ambassador. – The Vibes, June 27, 2023
