GLASGOW — The national contingent continued to harvest gleaming medals at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games as national track cycling star Datuk Mohd Azizulhasni Awang presented Malaysia’s seventh gold medal after dominating the men’s keirin final tonight.

The success at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome became the pinnacle of the country’s action yesterday, simultaneously witnessing Azizulhasni claim his first gold medal on the Commonwealth Games stage during his final appearance at the multi-sport games.

The 38-year-old Terengganu-born rider displayed experience and tactical wisdom to overcome challengers who held the advantage in terms of pedalling power before celebrating an emotional victory right after crossing the finish line.

The gold also equals the achievement of seven golds won by Malaysia at the Birmingham 2022 edition, even though Glasgow 2026 features a reduced competition programme and lacks several traditional sports that contribute medals for the country, such as badminton, diving, squash, and rhythmic gymnastics.

Prior to that, national women’s track cycling rider Nurul Izzah Izzati Mohd Asri, making her second appearance, nearly presented another medal in the women’s sprint event, but had to settle for fourth place after losing 0-2 to Welsh rider Rhian Edmunds in the bronze playoff.

Meanwhile, the national weightlifting camp closed out its challenge as the contingent’s biggest medal contributor after capturing five gold, one silver, and one bronze throughout the competition at the Scottish Event Campus Armadillo.

That excellence also gained recognition when the Malaysian Weightlifting Federation (MWF) was awarded the Trafalgar Trophy for the first time in history after the national men’s weightlifting squad emerged as the best men’s weightlifting team at this games.
