Dejected Shah Firdaus rues chance to win bronze

Mohd Shah Firdaus Sahrom advanced to the men's keirin quarter-finals after winning his repechage heat.

PETALING JAYA: So near, yet so far. It's a big improvement from his outing in Tokyo Olympics three years ago but track cyclist Mohd Shah Firdaus Sahrom admitted it was not the result he was hoping for.

The 28-year-old was not given much hope but he managed to go all the way to enter the keirin final in Paris today.
