KUALA LUMPUR: National track cyclist, Muhammad Shah Firdaus Sahrom, made waves by winning the men’s keirin gold medal at the UCI Nations Cup championships, in Konya, Turkiye, early this morning.

The 29-year-old cyclist showcased his skills, manoeuvring through a tight pack of four riders, before powering into the final corner to claim the title at the Konya Velodrome.
