Shah relegated to sixth in keirin final, carried off track after heavy crash

Track cyclist Shah Firdaus Sahrom was relegated to sixth in the men's keirin final at the Paris Olympics today.

Shah, who was drawn fifth behind the derny, was involved in a crash with Japan's Shinji Nakano and Britain's Jack Carlin during the final lap of the race at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome.

He was initially listed as finishing fourth. In the official results, he was judged to have "been relegated for moving down towards the inside of the track when an opponent was already there."

National track cycling head coach John Beasley was seen debating with an official after the race. It is understood that Malaysia filed an appeal but was unsuccessful.

Crashes happen all the time in Keirin racing! This shouldn't even be news.
