Ronse: The national para-cycling squad continued to create history on the world stage when women cyclist Nuraini Mohamad Shukri won the bronze medal in the individual time trial event at the 2025 Road Para Cycling World Cup in Ronse, Belgium, yesterday. Nuraini’s maiden achievement on the world stage was even more meaningful as it comes ahead of the 68th National Day celebration tomorrow.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, in the individual time trial category – cycle 1, Nuraini finished the race with a time of 26 minutes 07.99 seconds, trailing behind the champion from Australia, Tahlia Clayton-goodie, who won the gold with a record time of 19:34.82 seconds, and Victoria Maria De Camargo E Barbosa of Brazil, who secured the silver with a time of 24:42.97 seconds.

The success marked a significant milestone as Nuraini became the country’s first female para-cycling athlete to win a medal in the championship. This achievement also follows Mohammad Yusof Hafizi’s success in winning bronze at the same championship last year in Adelaide, Australia.

Team manager Fuzaime Shamsudin, in a statement, described Nuraini’s success as a boost to strengthen the confidence of the national cycling squad in chasing greater achievements in the future.
