Azizulhasni Awang takes gold in World Cup Keirin

World silver medallist Azizulhasni Awang of Malaysia has captured World Cup keirin gold at the final event of the four-leg series in Beijing.

The 22-year-old collected sprint silver in Pruszkow last year but in the Laoshan Velodrome - site of the Olympic track cycling competition in 2008 - it was the keirin in which he excelled.

He proved too strong for Australian rivals Jason Niblett and Daniel Ellis, who took silver and bronze respectively.

Awang's victory ensures he shares the overall World Cup series crown with Germany's Maximillian Levy as both cyclists finished with 22 points from the four events.
