T&T's trio of Nicholas Paul, Quin­cy Alexan­der and Kwe­si Brown failed to medal in the in­di­vid­ual sprints of this week­end's UCI Cy­cling World Cup in Mil­ton, Cana­da.

Both Paul and Alexan­der qual­i­fied out of the fly­ing 200 me­tres yes­ter­day, but Paul, af­ter be­ing paired with Spaniard Sanchez Moreno, was boot­ed out in the 1\16 round of the qual­i­fiers af­ter on­ly the first ride.

How­ev­er, Alexan­der, who came in­to the team as a re­place­ment for ei­ther Njisane Philip or Ker­ron Bram­ble, de­feat­ed his op­po­nent Jair Tjon En Far of Suri­name in the 1/16 round to ad­vance to the quar­ter-fi­nal round.

Alexan­der lat­er failed to progress fur­ther as he was beat­en by Vasil­i­jus Lendel of Lithuan­ian.

Ear­li­er on Sat­ur­day, Brown missed out on a chance to be among the top fin­ish­ers in the keirin event.

Brown first pro­gressed from heat two with a sec­ond-place fin­ish be­hind Thai­land’s Jai Ans­g­sutha­saw­it, which earned him qual­i­fi­ca­tion to the sec­ond round.

There Brown again showed his worth by clinch­ing the fifth po­si­tion in heat one that qual­i­fied him to com­pete for 7-12. But Brown fin­ished fourth in that ride for an over­all 12th po­si­tion in the event.

The even­tu­al gold medal in 1-6 fi­nal ride, was won by Ger­many's Joachim Eil­ers in a time of 10.091.
