One of the toughest things that all professional athletes have to do is; calling when to make a decision to retire. Ive recently made a concrete decision to hang up the wheels for good. The UCI Track World Championships in February (in Paris) will be my last competition as a professional cyclist. This has been brewing in my mind since the Asian Games back in September. Ive been proudly representing Malaysia at the highest level for 15 years and I feel that the time is right for me to move on to other challenges. It has been a dream come true with all the amazing places I have gone and great people I have met along the way. I will always treasure the feelings I have felt pushing my body to its limits to achieve victories. Even my near death experiences I do not regret. Because you havent really lived until youve nearly died. This journey would not have been possible without so many people who unselfishly made me part of their lives and helped me out so much. To those people, I am eternally grateful. It takes the contribution of many people to produce an Olympian.
