Jason Kenny and Co have silver in the cycling men's team sprint.
There is some excitement and much deliberation about the heat between Denmark v GB in the men's team pursuit. GB were well behind and certain to lose. However, the Danish cyclist coming up to lap GB's Tanfield (Clancy's replacement following his retirement today) was riding with his head down and crashed into Tanfield. He proceeded to eff and Jeff but failed to get back on and finish as 3rd over the line. Despite our losing position, Tanfield did get back on his bike and finished. Denmarkwho already got a warning for unofficial clothing and taping last night should, strictly speaking, be DQ'd. The verdict is still pending.
All agreed that GB were not in the wrong with how they were riding btw.
