Sepanjang penampilannya pada tahun 2009, pelumba berusia 22 tahun itu telah meraih pelbagai gelaran di pentas antarabangsa.

Azizulhasni turut meraih emas acara 200 meter pecut individu pada Kejohanan Kebangsaan Colombia.
Selaku penerima anugerah tersebut, Azizulhasni membawa pulang hadiah wang tunai RM10,000 beserta trofi.
Kejayaan itu juga menyaksikan Azizulhasni mengenepikan lima lagi calon lain iaitu ratu skuasy, Datuk Nicol David, jaguh, Datuk Lee Chong Wei, Daniel Bego (renang), penerjun negara, Leong Mun Yee-Pandelela Rinong dan juga skuad badminton wanita negara.

Azizulhasni yang tidak dapat hadir semalam kerana masih menjalani latihan serta menuntut di Universiti Deakin di Melbourne, Australia, sempat dihubungi melalui temu bual secara langsung menerusi panggilan telefon pada majlis tersebut.

ā€œAnugerah ini nanti bakal menjadi suntikan semangat kepada diri saya untuk mencipta lebih banyak kejayaan bagi mengharumkan nama negara di pentas antarabangsa,ā€ jelas Azizulhasni yang diwakili oleh ibunya, Selamiah Yong pada majlis semalam.

Sementara itu, skuad bola sepak bawah 23 (B-23) negara pula menerima anugerah khas iaitu Outdo Yourself yang mula diperkenalkan pada tahun ini.

Anugerah tersebut diberikan berikutan kejayaan skuad kendalian K. Rajagobal itu menamatkan kemarau selama 20 tahun apabila berjaya merangkul pingat emas pada temasya Sukan SEA di Laos Disember tahun lalu.

Tetamu kehormat, Timbalan Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin telah menyampaikan anugerah pada majlis itu.

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...
