Josiah Ng Onn Lam (born February 2, 1980 in Manila, Philippines) is a Malaysian track cyclist. He will be competing in the Beijing Olympics 2008. The twenty-eight year old became the 2004 Malaysian Olympian and Sportsman of the Year after participating in the 2004 Summer Olympics. He got first place in the UCI Track Cycling World Cup Classics in the keirin event three times and is still competing internationally.[citation needed]
During the 2007 UCI Track Cycling World Championships, Josiah broke his collarbone when Italian cyclist Roberto Chiappa’s back wheel caught Josiah’s front wheel causing the crash. A month before the recent crash, Josiah was hit by the motorcycle during a motor-pacing training due to the condition of the velodrome track ground causing him to bruise his hip. Another serious injury occurred two years ago when he broke his finger during a crash.
