Asian Track Cycling Championships: Ceci Lee’s wait for gold continues, but star Hongkonger bags second silver
- Hong Kong move up to four medals so far at the six-day continental championships in Delhi
- Liu Jiali of China denies Lee scratch gold, while Ng Pak-hang beats Kazakh Taraskin for pursuit bronze
Ceci Lee Sze-wing won her second Asian Track Cycling Championships silver medal in two days, after finishing behind mainland China’s experienced Liu Jiali in the scratch race final in Delhi.
There was a first senior men’s medal of the six-day event for Hong Kong, too, with Ng Pak-hang claiming individual pursuit bronze.
The women’s scratch result represented a year-on-year improvement for the riders who finished one and two, with Liu second and Lee third in the same event last year.
Lee, who will compete in the Madison and omnium in next month’s Hong Kong-hosted UCI Track Nations Cup, had already claimed silver in the women’s elimination race in Delhi.
The 22-year-old was denied scratch gold on Saturday by Liu, last year’s points race champion and seven years the Hongkonger’s senior. The bronze went to teenage Japanese racer Mizuki Ikeda.
