In Paul’s way was Maylasia’s Mohd Awang and 29 year old world champion from the Netherlands, Harrie Lavreysen.
Going into the final of six laps Paul took and early lead against the chasing pack, but in the final stretch Awang and Lavreysen overtook Paul at the death.
Awang won gold, Lavreysen won silver while T&T’s Nicholas Paul came out with an impressive bronze medal finish.
