# Azizulhasni Awang Olympic qualification efforts > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/azizulhasni-awang-olympic-qualification-efforts > Updated: 2026-09-01T04:53:00.000Z. Sources: 10. Developments: 5. The Malaysian Cycling Federation (PKBM) continues to seek strategic coordination with the Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS) and the National Sports Council (MSN) to develop a roadmap for Datuk Azizulhasni Awang’s bid for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. PKBM President Datuk Amarjit Singh Gill has emphasized that early planning is vital, as qualification requires accumulating points at the World Track Championships in Shanghai following the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. The federation is requesting flexibility within the ‘Road to Gold’ (RTG) guidelines to help the 38-year-old manage training, competition, and sponsor commitments. Azizulhasni has indicated he is open to competing in LA28, provided the nation still requires his services. In a nine-page statement, he emphasized the need for concrete confirmation from the KBS and MSN to plan his qualification pathway, noting the process spans two seasons and involves high-stakes events like World Championships and World Cups. In response to concerns regarding his future, the MSN has denied claims that it has disregarded Azizulhasni’s contributions or future planning, labeling such allegations as “irresponsible.” The council asserted it remains fully committed to supporting the athlete, stating that discussions regarding the ‘Olympic Pathway’ and his preparation for LA28 have been ongoing through meetings with senior officials and the PKBM. Following a period of uncertainty, Azizulhasni has formally agreed to continue his training and competition for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. This follows official approval from the MSN board on August 13 and the subsequent issuance of an offer letter. Youth and Sports Minister Dr Mohammed Taufiq Johari acknowledged a “communication breakdown” between the Ministry, the MSN, and the athlete, taking responsibility for the gaps. Moving forward, officials will hold detailed discussions with the athlete, the national cycling association, MSN, and the National Sports Institute to finalize technical and logistical support for his preparations. ## Claims - The Ministry of Youth and Sports takes responsibility for communication gaps regarding Azizulhasni Awang’s Olympic plans.
