Shah Firdaus Sahrom

PETALING JAYA: Mohd Shah Firdaus Sahrom has reached the Olympic men's keirin final, thanks to the disqualification of Asian Games double champion Ota Kaiya of Japan, at the Saint-Quentinen-Yvelines Velodrome on Sunday (Aug 11).

The Birmingham Commonwealth Games bronze medal winner Shah Firdaus thought he missed out after finishing fourth in the second semi-final heat but was seen celebrating with both arms raised shortly after he was promoted to third following Kaiya's relegation for an infringement.
