Sisters Nur Airen Sofea Mohd Nor Aszeril and Nia Nur Aidryana have made a surprising debut at the 2026 Malaysia Games (SUKMA), clinching the gold and silver medals in the women's BMX Flatland competition. The event, held at Xtreme Park MBPJ, also marked the first time BMX Flatland was included in the biennial games. This remarkable achievement by the siblings in their first SUKMA appearance adds a special layer to their success.
Airen, 18, emerged as the champion, accumulating 81.67 points. Her younger sister, Aidryana, secured the silver medal with a score of 74 points. The bronze medal went to Nur Qistina Adriana Mohd Nor Abadi, representing the Federal Territories, who scored 67.67 points. For Airen, this victory is particularly meaningful after a period of self-doubt stemming from previous losses to her sister.
I am proud of myself. Thank you to the coach who taught me from knowing nothing to winning the gold medal for Selangor. I actually didn't expect to win today because I've been lacking confidence lately.
"I am proud of myself. Thank you to the coach who taught me from knowing nothing to winning the gold medal for Selangor," Airen shared with reporters. "I actually didn't expect to win today because I've been lacking confidence lately." The sisters began their journey in extreme sports with encouragement from their father, Mohd Aszeril Mohd Noor, a former participant in the X Games and international competitions. "I started because of my father. He used to compete in the X Games and major competitions abroad. I learned everything from him, but there was no pressure. I was interested myself," Airen added.
