Last chance for Sarah Lee to atone for poor results in Cali
Keirin event is final opportunity for Hong Kong's star rider to return home with a medal
Sarah Lee Wai-sze has one last chance to make up for a disappointing Track Cycling World Championships when she contests the keirin in Cali, Colombia.
After failing to defend her 500-metre time-trial title and with a defeat in the last eight of the sprint, Lee faces the possibility of returning home empty-handed.
Hong Kong's top rider won a gold and a bronze medal respectively in the latter two events at the last world championships in Minsk a year ago.
The keirin, one of the most exciting sprint events, will not be easy for Lee. Defending champion Rebecca James of Britain is also keen to make up for a defeat in the sprint, but hot favourite Kristina Vogel is the obstacle.
The German rider has taken two gold at the Cali oval - the team sprint with compatriot Miriam Welte and the individual sprint where she was unbeaten all the way to the title.
The 23-year-old is also the keirin champion in the first two legs of the World Cup series this season in which Lee finished fourth on both occasions.
