KUALA LUMPUR, March 22 (Bernama) -- National woman cyclist Nurul Izzah Izzati Mohd Asri can take her time to recover from the injury she sustained at the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) Track Cycling Nations Cup in Turkiye last week because her next assignment is only due in May.
Nurul Izzah, who injured her knee, said she intends to use the long break to fully recover and rest before the National Track Cycling Championships are held from May 20-25.
“Overall, the recovery process is coming along fine, the wound on my leg has dried up and I have gone to the National Sports Institute for a checkup and was told it’s nothing serious. After the Turkiye outing, there aren’t that many major meets until July.
“My next assignment is the national championships in May. I will now focus on my rehabilitation. It’s the off-season now and I am on holiday until Hari Raya Aidilfitri (at the end of this month)… I will train on my own,” she told reporters recently.
At the Nations Cup in Turkiye last week, Nurul Izzah crashed after colliding with Makaira Wallace while attempting to overtake the Trinidad and Tobago rider.
Nurul Izzah was classified as Did Not Finish (DNF) after she was left lying on the track and unable to continue the race while Wallace finished third.
