Cycling’s track to gold at Thailand SEA Games seems less glittering


Our domain: The Malaysian cycling team dominated the track competition at the 2017 KL SEA Games by sweeping 11 of the 13 gold medals on offer.

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s eight-year wait for track cycling to return to the SEA Games looks set to end in disappointment, with three gold medal-winning events likely to be excluded from the meet in Thailand this December.

The three events that are at risk of being scrapped are the keirin, team sprint, and team pursuit.
