Malaysia’s **Nurul Izzah Izzati Mohd Asri** won the women’s keirin final in
front of home fans at the 2025 Asian Track Championships, to retain the title
she won in India a year ago.

Building on her bronze medal in the sprint, she timed her last-lap attack
perfectly to catch China’s **Yufang Guo**. Japan’s **Mina Sato**, wearing the
rainbow stripes of world champion, never imposed herself on the race, and
finished last.

Japan’s **Haruka Nakazawa** was first to attack from the middle of the line,
drawing an immediate reaction from Guo in second, who took the front with two
laps remaining. Izzah Izzati bumped shoulders with Nakazawa as they passed
Korea’s **Haeun Kim** in pursuit of the Chinese leader, with world champion Sato
blocked behind a wall three riders deep.

Guo had a four-length lead at the bell, but Izzah Izzati was closing, and the
Malaysian crowd could sense the victory was on. She exited the final bend ahead
of Guo, and crossed the line ahead of a fast-finishing Kim.
