The 22-year-old finished first in one of the four races at the Chun’an Jieshou Sports Centre Velodrome, located some 190 kilometres to the south of Hangzhou, but had to settle for her second silver behind Japan’s Yumi Kajihara, having also been the runner-up in the women’s Madison on Thursday.

The Hong Kong delegation has now won five golds, 13 silvers, and 18 bronze to date in Hangzhou – 36 medals in total,

Lee insisted she is not finished, however, and wants more with the women’s road race still to come next Wednesday.

“I wanted a medal for omnium so I have succeeded,” she said.
