GOLD COAST: Like the famous story of the tortoise and the hare, Malaysian cyclist Muhammad Shah Firdaus Sahrom had the last laugh at the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast today. Glaetzer, a hot favourite for the sprint gold, had qualified fastest and set a Commonwealth Games record of 9.583 seconds in the process. AFPIn the end, Shah, the ‘tortoise, won the race while Glaetzer, the hare, ended up red-faced. A dejected Glaetzer said: ‘"He (Shah Firdaus) got the jump on me, so I'm pretty gutted. But the other riders fighting for the gold are grateful to Shah, the tortoise, for knocking out the world champion with a sucker’s punch.
