KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 4 — National cyclists Datuk Mohd Azizulhasni Awang and Muhammad Shah Firdaus Sahrom made it to the third round of the sprint event at the Tokyo Olympics by winning their round of 16 finals repechages today.
Shah Firdaus had a similar path, first losing to Dutchman Harrie Lavreysen in the first round by 0.063s. He recovered to win his first repechage against Canada’s Hugo Barrette and Poland’s Mateusz Rudyk. At the start of the race, Patryk came to a standstill as he tried to make Shah Firdaus fall off his bike by staying stationary in one spot. The cyclist whose feet touch the ground automatically loses the race.
Shah however managed to close the gap and in the end won by a comfortable 0.260s margin to book his place alongside Azizul in tomorrow’s quarterfinals stage set to start from 3pm Malaysian time.
