[1] Nurul Izzah Izzati Mohd Asri began cycling seriously at the age of 12, joining the Kedah Sports Council state team.

A year later, at just 13, she won a bronze medal in the MTB XCO event at the Malaysia SUKMA Games, competing against athletes aged 15 to 21.

In 2016, after the Malaysian National Sports Council (MSN) introduced the Junior Cycling Malaysia Track and Road program, the Kedah state team participated in almost all series.

She won gold in MTB XCO, silver in the 500m event where she narrowly lost to her current national teammate Anis Amira Rosidi by just 1.0999 seconds—and bronze in the keirin at the Malaysia SUKMA Games.

In the same year, she competed at the 2022 Asian Games held in Hangzhou, where she secured a bronze medal in the team sprint event alongside Nurul Aliana Syafika Azizan and Anis Amira Rosidi.
