Asian Games: Sarah Lee outguns rivals for gold glory in Incheon
Champion rider is already looking forward to celebrating with her family - especially her 95-year-old grandma - after securing the keirin
Two Asian Games, two gold medals - no wonder Hong Kong star Sarah Lee Wai-sze loves this competition.
On Sunday she won Hong Kong's first gold in Incheon with victory in the women's keirin, to go with the 500m gold she won in Guangzhou four years ago.
Despite an unusual outdoor 333-metre track - track cycling events are normally contested on 250m indoor courses - Lee thrashed her rivals with an overwhelming win.
My heart is feeling great now but I have to contain my excitement because there is still the sprint race. I must stay calm so that I can deliver my best
Lee is now targeting another medal in the sprint competition on Tuesday , but is already looking forward to celebrating with family - especially her elderly grandmother - after a gruelling training camp in Korea.
"I haven't seen my family and friends for about two months and I miss them so much," she said. "My grandma is already 95 and I always think I won't get any chance to see her again. I hope I can go back for two or three days' holiday after this and have dinner with them."
But Lee won't be calling anyone at home until after the sprint race, so focused is she on bagging another gold.
Fatehah Binti Mustapa, of Malaysia, was a surprising second, while Zhong Tianshi, who won a team sprint gold with Gong Jinjie the previous day, was third. Another favourite, Lin Junhong of China, was disqualified.
