Wong Kam-po is hoping to put his Olympic disappointment behind him when he takes part in the World Cup Classic in Beijing today.
The 35-year-old (pictured) took an extended break after a mediocre 15th place in the men's points race at the Beijing Games.
To make matters worse, he also had haemorrhoids surgery during his time off - but with the world championships in Copenhagen in two months' time, he needs to get back on track to gain enough points to qualify for the Danish showpiece.
'He has been training well in Shenzhen and is ready for the challenge again,' said Cycling Association executive director Walter Yue Ka-lok.
Despite his age and his poor performance last summer, Wong has vowed to fight on and is targeting a medal at the 2012 London Games.
Wong will take part in the scratch race and points race at Laoshan velodrome, the Olympic venue.
