Diminutive track cyclist Azizulhasni Awang is heading to the Tokyo Games with big dreams of becoming the first Malaysian to win an Olympic gold medal.

He may be just 1.68 meters in height, but he is no stranger to standing tall on the world stage, demonstrated best when he earned the Southeast Asian country its first Olympic medal in cycling, a bronze in keirin at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

Now, gold is firmly on his Tokyo agenda.
