Indian cyclist Ronaldo Singh Laitonjam from Manipur, a participant in the Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS), has shattered a national record in the men’s spring qualification event at the Asian Track Cycling Championship in Niali, Malaysia.

Ronaldo’s exceptional performance secured him the 10th position and a spot in the Round of 16 in the men’s sprint category.
