NILAI: A nagging right knee injury sustained in gym training two weeks ago will not stop national track cyclist Mohd Shah Firdaus Sahrom (pic) from continuing to chase success in the ongoing Asian Championships.

Despite having to endure pain, Shah Firdaus underlined his extraordinary determination by still performing brilliantly to make his way to the medal rounds and secure a bronze in the men’s elite individual sprint event on Sunday.
