National track cyclist Muhammad Shah Firdaus Sahrom believes he could have challenged for the men’s sprint gold medal if only his victory in the first semi-final heat against China’s Zhou Yu was not overturned due to an infraction.

The 27-year-old Muhammad Shah Firdaus won the first semi-final heat, but the commissaire overturned the result after he entered the opponent’s lane during the final lap at the Chun’an Jieshou Sports Centre Velodrome, today.
