SEPULUH tahun lamanya dia menunggu. Malam tadi "The Pocket Rocketman" Malaysia akhirnya tertidur sambil tersenyum bahagia, dikalungi pingat emasnya!
Ya, jagoan sukan berbasikal negara, Azizulhasni Awang aka "The Pocket Rocketman" berjaya menutup buku penantiannya yang telah 10 tahun menunggu untuk dicatat dengan kemenangan tertinggi peringkat dunia, apabila dia menjuarai Acara Keirin dalam Kejohanan Dunia di Hong Kong. Tahniah Azizul! Melihatkan saiznya yang jauh kecil berbanding pengayuh-pengayuh lain sewaktu berdiri di podium kemenangan, pasti membuat berjuta-juta rakyat Malaysia terlongo dan percaya — betapa inilah bukti keajaiban semangat "Malaysia Boleh" yang kita sorak-soraikan selama ini.
Azizulhasni Awang melakar sejarah gemilang apabila muncul sebagai juara dunia selepas menumpaskan Fabian Hernando Puerta Zapata dari Colombia, meninggalkan pelumba tersebut dengan 0.382 saat di belakang.
Paling mengejutkan adalah tumbangnya pelumba ranking nombor satu dunia, iaitu Tomas Babek dari Republik Czech, yang sekadar menamatkan saingan di tangga ketiga dengan catatan masa +0.417 saat.

UCAPAN "THE POCKET ROCKETMAN" UNTUK SELURUH DUNIA
"BETAPA INI MALAM YANG SANGAT LUAR BIASA BUAT SAYA..."
It's unbelievable night for me.
I've been trying so hard to get this world title.
Since 2007 when I first stepped into the elite level, i keep chasing for this.
I ended up bronze and silver twice and lost only by millimetres but i never give up.
I believe if i keep working hard and believing in myself, my time will come.
Everyday during the training session i kept pushing the boundaries hard.
People said i can't success in sport because of physical size.
I know i'm racing with giants.
Big powerful guys out there.
But this battle i showed it like David and Goliath.
I believe if you want something, there's always a way to get it.
You just have to work it out and never give up.
I did that.
Again and again.
Again and again.
Again and again.
I pray to Allah everyday to grant me this victory.
I believe he listened to my call.
And this time in Hong Kong
Is the witness of this history
Finally my goal to become
A W O R L D C H A M P I O N
Has become a reality.
