Women's omnium - elimination race

Four riders are knocked out before the race is neutralised after a messy crash.

We're back under way, and moments later Canada's Maggie Coles-Lyster takes a heavy tumble so it's paused again.

The elimination race features two laps per sprint, with the last rider over the line after each sprint being knocked out.

Think of winner stays on - but in reverse. Whoever wins the final sprint will pocket the most points.

Great Britain's Katie Archibald goes into the third event in seventh place overall on 50 points, with USA's Jennifer Valente leading on 78.

Beautifully done, and with confidence as well.

I get the feeling we're going to be talking about Emma Finucane for a very long time.

New Zealand's Ellesse Andrews makes it two from two against Germany's Lea Friedrich to show she's a worthy winner of the bronze medal.

Now can Emma Finucane complete the job for the gold?

Now Hamish Turnbull is looking to join team-mate Jack Carlin in the final.

The Englishman was well placed with a lap to go but after the bell he gradually slipped back and had given up the chase by the time Australia's Matthew Richardson took the heat win.

Carlin knew exactly what he wanted to do. Everyone had to work round him. He has found his niche.

Harrie Lavreysen got lucky there. He really had to shift to get back into that one.

Japan's Kaiya Ota breaks free heading into the final lap, followed by Jack Carlin.

And although they're caught by heat winner Kevin Quintero, Carlin does enough to qualify for the final along with defending champion Harrie Lavreysen.

Emma Finucane has been tactically solid and all her muscles have been firing. She just looks right.

The keirin boys are back out, with Jack Carlin in heat one.

I wouldn't like to call that. It was that close. It was a wily ride by Friedrich. Finucane got right up to the top of the track to get maximum acceleration.

Lea Friedrich leads out the first race of the women's sprint final. Emma Finucane takes a high line at the bell, the British rider is level halfway round and then edges in front of the German with her throw at the line.

Finucane is in front!!

Here are how things stand after two events of the women's omnium. Still plenty of time for Great Britain's Katie Archibald to make up some ground.

Katie Archibald's position at the finish will matter as well for the rankings.

Ireland's Lara Gillespie picks up the final point on offer, with Katie Archibald finishing in 13th place overall having struggled to mount a challenge on that final lap.

USA's Jennifer Valente was the biggest winner there, picking up 30 points, followed by Valentine Fortin of France (25) and New Zealand's Ally Woollaston (23).

There are five laps to go and Great Britain's Katie Archibald is yet to register any points.

With 10 laps to go, Jennifer Valente joins the back of the pack and Ally Woollaston takes over at the front.
