IT started as a stormy day for Mohd Shah Firdaus Sahrom. However, it ended in cheers with a well-deserved bronze medal in the men’s individual sprint competition at the Chun’an Jieshou Sports Velodrome yesterday.
The 27-year-old was handed a relegation penalty in the first semi-final ride against China’s Zhou Yu. He then lost the subsequent ride to Zhou Yu and could not qualify for the final.
Zhou Yu, who qualified fastest in the sprint qualification on Wednesday, failed in his bid to win the gold for China when he was beaten in two heats by Kaiya Ota of Japan. “But the bronze is still a precious medal for me as I was fighting world class cyclists. I had to race five times today and I felt like my life was on the line each time.
Yesterday, Zhou Yu had also spoilt Ridwan’s campaign in the individual sprint, ousting him in the quarter-finals after three heats.
