Hong Kong cycling star Sarah Lee makes it a hat trick of gold medals at Asian Indoor Games as she completes clean sweep
Domination was never in doubt in absence of key rivals, says track queen
Sarah Lee Wai-sze completed her clean sweep of gold medals at the Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games on Friday evening, claiming she never doubted her ability to secure a golden hat-trick in Turkmenistan.
Lee added gold in the keirin to those picked up in the individual and team sprint events as the 30-year-old cruised to victory ahead of India’s Deborah Herold and teammate Vivian Ma Wing-yu on another successful night for Hong Kong.
“When I read the start list I was already thinking I could get the gold medals, but of course the races always have different situations,” said Lee.
“I had the confidence, but I was not 100 per cent sure that I could win. This time we didn’t have China, we didn’t have Korea and it’s a surprise for me that they weren’t here.
“But for the juniors, we need to work with them to bring their level up. I could say it was easy for me, but for Vivian and the other Hong Kong sprinters this event has been good for them.”
