Taiwan cycling team wins women's bronze at Asian Games amid men's team controversy

The Taiwan women's track cycling team secured a bronze medal in the team sprint at the Nagoya Asian Games, defeating host nation Japan by a narrow margin of 0.076 seconds. The winning squad consisted of Chiu Ching-wen, Chen Ching-yun, Liu Shang-ying, and Wang Hsin-ting.

In contrast, the men's team faced disappointment in the team pursuit. Cyclist Du Zhi-hao expressed significant frustration via social media, stating he was unexpectedly sidelined by coaching decisions during a critical qualifying round despite having set a national record and undergoing intensive training. The men's team was ultimately eliminated after losing to Hong Kong, failing to achieve their goal of breaking the national record during the competition.
