Malaysia wins men's cycling gold, crash mars final

A cyclist was wheeled off the track on a stretcher for the second consecutive day after a crash in Wednesday's keirin final that knocked two athletes out of the race.

Malaysia's Josiah Ng appeared to bump into China's Zhang Lei, who tumbled onto the track. Iran's Mohammad Parash was unable to stop and ran over Zhang, then toppled over his handlebars. Parash was wheeled off wearing a neck brace, while Zhang walked away apparently without serious injuries.

Malaysia's Azizulhasni Awang finished first, while Ng crossed in second place. China's Zhang Miao was third.

The event came one day after a multi-bike crash in the women's points race that sent Hong Kong cyclist Wong Wan Yiu to the hospital, after she'd finished in second place. Five of the 17 cyclists did not finish the race.
