HK's Wong still pushing on

Due to a slight cough and a lack of training, Hong Kong's Wong Kam-po failed to reach the podium at the UCI World Cup in Beijing last week.

The rider once dubbed the "king of cycling" in Asia is going on 37 now and the men's points race, in which he competed at the past three Olympic Games, will not be staged at the 2012 London Games, due to an IOC decision last month.

However the veteran, who has ridden professionally since 1990, still wants to stay in the saddle and compete in London.
