Mohammad Rizal bin Tisin (born 20 June 1984 inKlang,Selangor) is aMalaysian professional track cyclist.[1] He represented his nationMalaysia at the2008 Summer Olympics, and later established the nation's historic milestone as the first Malaysian to claim a track cycling medal at the2009 UCI World Championships and at the2010 Commonwealth Games.
Tisin qualified for the Malaysian squad in themen's team sprint at the2008 Summer Olympics inBeijing by receiving a berth for his team based on the nation's selection process from the UCI Track World Rankings.[2] Tisin, along with his teammatesAzizulhasni Awang andJosiah Ng, posted a sterling Malaysian record of 44.725 and an average speed of 60.368 km/h to grab a seventh spot for his team from the opening prelims, before losing out to France (44.822) in the first round match.[3][4][5]
In 2009, Tisin established the nation's historic milestone by claiming the bronze for Malaysia in the men's four-lap kilometre time trial (a national record of 1:01.658) at theUCI Track Cycling World Championships inPruszków,Poland.[6][7]
At the2010 Commonwealth Games inDelhi, India, Tisin redrafted his cycling career resume as he took home the silver in themen's 1 km time trial (1:02.768), following shortly by his team campaign with a bronze medal effort in themen's sprint race (45.378).[8][9] A month later, at theAsian Games inGuangzhou, Tisin and his teammates Awang and Ng could not replicate a striking effort in the same event after losing out the bronze medal match to Iran.
Tisin continued further to reach the summit of his career when he managed to add two more medals, including his gold in the 1 km time trial, at the2011 Asian Cycling Championships inNakhon Ratchasima,Thailand.[10] Shortly after his fruitful success, Tisin sought his intention to return to the BMX track cycling, where he started his sporting career as a teenager. Tisin's hopes and decision to temporarily leave his sporting discipline were thereby pinned on selection for the2012 Summer Olympics.[11]
In June 2013, Tisin ended his short lapse to focus again on track cycling and gear up for future international competitions, following an unsatisfactory result and his decision to miss an opportunity for his second Olympic bid.[12]
