JAKARTA, Aug 30, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong’s Sarah Lee Wai-sze blazed to a
tournament-record 10.583 seconds as she set out to defend her women’s sprint
title at the Asian Games on Thursday.

The 31-year-old former Olympic bronze medallist, who claimed keirin gold on
Tuesday, set the new mark in the qualifying round before she sailed past
India’s Aleena Reji in the quater-finals.

The morning session also witnessed an Asian record in the women’s 3,000m
individual pursuit qualification with South Korea’s Lee Ju-mi setting the
track on fire with a timing of 3:33.048.

Korea’s Lee will take on Wang Hong of China for the gold, while Ayustina
Delia Priatna of Indonesia and Taiwan’s Huang Ting-ying will face off for
bronze.
