PARIS, National women’s track cyclist Nurul Izzah Izzati Mohd Asri failed to advance to the quarterfinals of the keirin event after crashing out in the repechage round at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games today.

In the race held at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines National Velodrome, the 20-year-old, who initally led in Heat 1, finished third.

She was overtaken by Canadian rider Kelsey Mitchell and Great Britain’s Katy Marchant, who finished first and second respectively.
