00:00Standing in Paul's way for the gold medal race was local hero Mohammed Awang who
00:04were paced in for goal in yesterday's current final and the Malaysian got the
00:08upper hand in the first semi-final race.
00:30Nicholas Paul having none of it staying strong at the front Paul perhaps better
00:38suited to a really short sprint so he's keeping this as slow as possible
00:42Awang such a good Kieran Ryder but that's from a high speed that he has the best chance
00:47and now he goes so the best of three and it's Awang right up and Nicholas Paul has to give
00:52him some room as he goes into the back straight no infringement there so Awang trying to get
00:56the first win here can Paul come back over the top but it will be an amazing sensation
01:02he'll get the first win the crowd absolutely loving it
01:05but Paul uses speed into good effect to force a decisive third race
01:10so Awang in control but Nicholas Paul with the speed around the outside
01:13downhill run down finishing straight as well Nicholas Paul gets the win
01:19fascinating race between these two and that decisive race proved to be easier
01:23than expected it for Paul
01:31so Paul into the box seat here one win away from going into the final
01:36and throwing in the towel is Azizul Awang he won the Kieran last night in spectacular
01:40fashion but it'll be Nicholas Paul that goes into the final against Harry Lovresen
01:44to the world champion up against the former world record holder in the race for gold in the men's sprint
01:56final
01:57and the five-time Olympic medalist was just too strong as Paul had to settle with silver in the men's
02:20sprint final
02:21and Nicholas Paul goes into the first bench in slipstream low is the world champion
02:28Lovresen comes up to the back wheel can he come around the outside is the shorter way on the inside
02:32for Paul but look at Lovresen powers past to get another victory the world sprint champion wins gold with the
02:39sprints in Malaysia
02:40Terrence Glock to 64
02:42you
