TOKYO: National track cyclist Mohd Shah Firdaus Sahrom, who was involved in a crash during the first round of the men’s keirin race at the Izu Velodrome today, has been taken to the Juntendo University Shizuoka Hospital for further treatment.

Malaysian National Cycling Federation (MNCF) vice-president Datuk Amarjit Singh Gill said the cyclist was rushed to the hospital after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics organising committee's medical team found that the 25-year-old's oxygen level was low.
