NILAI: Thailand SEA Games double gold medallist rider Mohd Ridwan Sahrom made up for the disappointment of missing the keirin podium on Thursday by claiming the men’s individual sprint gold in the second leg of the President’s Cup yesterday.

And he has his brother, Mohd Shah Firdaus Sahrom to thank for giving him the extra push to accomplish the feat.
