Causeway Bay • Hong Kong
Hong Kong’s Sarah Lee Wai-sze qualified for the third round of the sprint event at the Tokyo Olympics on Friday evening, but not before “scaring” her supporters.
The 34-year-old was forced to dig deep again at the Izu Velodrome to keep her medal dreams alive. Just as she had to in the keirin event on Thursday, Lee was made to come through a last-16 repechage to secure her path to the next round. She comfortably beat USA’s Madalyn Godby to ensure her involvement into the weekend.

It’s the final push for glory in Tokyo and Hong Kong cyclist Sarah Lee is among those hoping to go out with a bang.
The track cycling star is likely competing at her last Olympics, and has one shot left at adding to the bronze medal she won in London in 2012. After a slow start at the Games, Lee looks to be coming into top form at just the right time, beating Mathilde Gros and then Katy Marchant to reach Sunday's sprint semi-finals.
