Cyclist Ceci Lee Sze-wing hopes to catch rival Yumi Kajihara after another Asian Track Championships medal
- The 22-year-old Hongkonger adds omnium silver to scratch race bronze in Malaysia on Monday
- City bags six medals in their first Asian Championships since star rider Sarah Lee Wai-sze’s retirement
Three days after claiming bronze for Hong Kong in the scratch race, Ceci Lee Sze-wing added an omnium silver at the Asian Track Cycling Championships in Malaysia on Monday.
But the double-medal winner is not getting carried away. Instead, she insisted she is determined to catch Japanese rival Yumi Kajihara, who beat her to gold in both events.
Lee finished just four points behind Kajihara in the women’s omnium on Monday, and was well ahead of Taiwan’s Huang Ting-ying, who ended up third.
It was the sixth medal of the championships for Hong Kong, after Mow Ching-yin took bronze in the men’s points race, while Leung Chun-wing and Leung Ka-yu combined to snatch silver in the men’s Madison earlier.
“I performed to my standard and did every move and tactic I planned,” Lee said. “But I felt my differences with Yumi remained there.
“Perhaps we looked close enough judging by the overall scores [158 points to 154], but the difference between my ability and hers during the tempo race was obvious. So there is some catching up to do over the next few months.”
