Shah Firdaus: The only Malaysian standing at the Paris Olympics [WATCH]

KUALA LUMPUR: As the Paris Olympics come to an end today, cyclist Shah Firdaus Sahrom is the only Malaysian athlete left in contention.

This comes about after Azizulhasni Awang's shock disqualification in the keirin event yesterday.

This evening, the nation will hold its breath as Shah Firdaus competes in the men's keirin quarter-finals at 5:29pm. If he advances, his next round will be at 6:29pm.

On the penultimate day, NBA legends LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Steph Curry powered the United States to the men's basketball gold  with a 98-87 victory over France, making it their fifth consecutive Olympic title.

Meanwhile Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has filed a harassment complaint, citing online abuse amid a gender dispute.

On the final day of the Paris Games, 14 gold medals are up for grabs in athletics, basketball, cycling, handball, modern pentathlon, volleyball, water polo, weightlifting and wrestling.

China are in a neck-and-neck race with  the United States for the top spot in the medal standings. China lead with 39 gold, 27 silver and 24 bronze while the US follow closely with 38 gold, 42 silver and 42 bronze. Australia round out the top three with 18 gold, 18 silver and 14 bronze.
