And the Asian Games medal hope is determined to start that process on Monday, when she will be back in action in the omnium at the National Velodrome in Nilai, about 50km south of central Kuala Lumpur.

In the 10km scratch race on Friday, Lee finished behind Yumi Kajihara of Japan and Liu Jiali of China.

It was the third medal of the championships for Hong Kong after Yang Qianyu took silver in the women’s elimination race and Leung Chun-wing added a bronze in the men’s version.
