Huge effort needed here from Dan Bigham and the Briton has gone out hard here.

He's got a small advantage of around 0.8 seconds.

Italy's Jonathan Milan takes a deserved bronze medal, beating 2022 bronze medallist Ivo Oliveira of Portugal by almost three seconds.

Dan Bigham gets a warm reception as he lines up. Can he stop Filippo Ganna defending his title here?

Over to the men's individual pursuit now, and another shot at gold for Great Britain.

This is great, isn't it?

Dan Bigham is up against Italy's Filippo Ganna in a heavyweight clash at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome.

Ganna is the reigning champion and broke the world record in winning his FIFTH world title in the event.

Lotte Kopecky through the full race looked in control.

At no point did she ever look like she was going to be eliminated and had enough in the tank for the final sprint.

It's gold for Belgium's Lotte Kopecky!

She gets the better of France's Valentine Fortin, powering clear to defend her elimination race title.

Jennifer Valente of the United States equals her 2022 bronze.

Ah, and it is fifth place for Elinor Barker in the elimination race.

That's a great effort from the Briton.

Four remain and Lotte Kopecky is looking very strong.

Elinor Barker is playing a risky game, sitting back before flying round the top and edging the last couple of riders.

The Briton has made it into the final six.

Elinor Barker is off the back but recovers to stay in contention in this race, which has been whittled down to the final 10 riders.

Lotte Kopecky, Rachele Barbieri and Jennifer Valente are all in the mix.

Two of the three fallers are able to recover from that crash and return to the race. Back under way!

All the big hitters are still in play with 12 riders still flying round the track.

It is like dominos, they are all so tightly packed and there is nowhere to go!

Great Britain's Elinor Barker is still hanging in there as Australian Chloe Moran slips back and becomes the fifth rider to be pulled from the race.

Oh, big crash!

There are two or three riders down, who now have limited time to try and get back up and involved.

A messy start to the elimination race, and Spain's Laura Rodriguez is left in tears as she suffers a front wheel puncture but her team cannot get her back up and running quick enough to prevent her from being knocked out.

Back under way and Ireland's Emily Kay misses the cut. It's relentless!

Who doesn't love a good elimination race?

Another event which provides a great spectacle, and Great Britain's Elinor Barker will be among those bidding for a medal in this one.

Twenty three riders will start the race, including reigning champion Lotte Kopecky of Belgium, plus 2022 silver medallist Rachele Barbieri of Italy and American bronze medallist Jennifer Valente.

It's stacked. All eyes are on the back of the race to see who makes the cut.

Yep, Portugal's Luri Leitao makes it two from two in the men's omnium and he has a handy lead at the halfway stage of this event.

The elimination race will follow later, before the all-important points race decides the medals.

Japan's Shunsuke Imamura and Spain's Sebastian Mora are hanging behind the peloton, collecting extra points before they try and get the 20 points for gaining a lap.

The peloton is strung out now, though, and they aren't going to get the lap, but with nine and eight points respectively they will finish high in the standings.

Portugal's Luri Leitao, meanwhile, looks set to take maximum points once again from this tempo race.

Luri Leitao gets his lap and leads with 32 points, but that means the points are now up for grabs for the rest of the riders.

Japan's Shunsuke Imamura is hoovering them up now after breaking away, taking his tally to eight.

Portugal's leader Luri Leitao immediately springs in to action and is racking up the points, breaking free and collecting points with each lap that he's not caught.

Can he get the full lap? He's amassed eight points already.

Time to check back in with the men's omnium now.

Portugal's Luri Leitao took the maximum 40 points in the first event of the men's omnium earlier today, the scratch race.

GB's Oliver Wood sits in second position before the final three events this evening. A very decent start indeed.

Next up for the riders, it's the tempo race, where the riders compete to be the first over the line for points on 35 of 40 laps.

Don't forget to watch out for riders trying to break clear to gain a lap, which gives them 20 points.
