Why It Matters
Ceci Lee Sze-wing previously won silver in the omnium at the Asian Games three years ago, finishing behind Yumi Kajihara, and has since shifted her focus entirely to track cycling in Japan after sacrificing her road career.
A “more relaxed and less stressed” Ceci Lee Sze-wing will face the challenge of overcoming two-time reigning champion and hometown favourite Yumi Kajihara in her hunt for a potentially career-shaping Asian Games gold.
Lee will link up with Chloe Leung Wing-yee in the Madison on Thursday, but it is in the following day’s omnium, which head coach Herve Dagorne labelled “the queen event”, that the 25-year-old could establish herself as the continent’s most complete track cyclist.
She has sacrificed the road and thrown all her eggs in the track basket in Japan in a bid to upgrade the omnium silver she claimed behind Kajihara three years ago.
“I was a little bit upset to miss the road, but I need to get over it and have the best result in the omnium, so that I regret nothing,” Lee said.
