00:00After repeating his success in the men's karen yesterday, Nicholas Paul's name was constantly mentioned as action got going in
00:07the men's sprint event.
00:08And as the defending champion in that event as well, the 28-year-old lived up to his billing as
00:13favorite.
00:36Paul clocked the fastest qualifying time, stopping the clock in 9.400 seconds.
00:42But he wasn't the only TNT cyclist in the top three, as veteran Jacin Phillips takes his claim.
01:04The second, the best time, 9.580 seconds.
01:09Cwesi Brown was also among the qualifiers as he stopped the clock in 9.884 to show off TNT's strength
01:16and depth in men's track cycling.
01:18But with the stakes increased in the round of 16, Brown bowed out to Canada's Cole Dempster.
01:33While Jacin Phillips showed he had more legs in the battle of the 34-year-olds against Mexico's Edgar Verdugo.
01:52And it was less of a challenge for Nicholas Paul against Mexican Jafet López Gonzaga.
02:24Another good day for TNT, as they have to rest.
02:27Riders in the final eight with Paul, the firm favorite to regain his crown tomorrow.
