Laura Trott is back on track in the elimination race - the final event of the day for her.

One rider is kicked off at the end of every sprint. Until there are just two left...

That's a dream opening quarter for Team GB. No nerves on show, just solid stuff and they could put the lowest ranked side left in the tournament to the sword here.

The crowd isn't all to boisterous, I'd estimate we are 30% full here with the majority of fans from the Netherlands. A brief "Espana, Espana," song breaks out but quickly a gent with a drum starts the Great Britain fans off.

Based on that opening quarter, I think the British fans will be able to enjoy this one.

The message in the huddle must have been for more of the same.

Right, silver for Cavendish and Great Britain hunting a place in the semi-finals of the women's hockey.

It's going rather well...

There was no big celebration, he wasn’t punching the air. There was a sense of disappointment but he has to see this as a massive achievement. 

To come back to the track, to adapt to all these different events. The omnium is about being the best all-rounder, and he was nearly that.

It’s down to enjoyment now. If he can go back home, have a break.,enjoy himself, get back on his back and reset his goals. There’s plenty of life there.

Helen Richardson-Walsh puts GB women two up in their quarter-final, but Sophie Bray takes all the plaudits.

She's started like a house on fire, and it was her quality work down the right that gave Helen RW the tap-in in front of goal.

Mike Fisher: Silver for Cav. Gold never quite got close enough and you get the feeling he didn't quite have it in him to reign it back.

Hannah: What sadistic person came up with the idea of the omnium?! So tough but WELL DONE CAV.

A great finale, Mark looks disappointed but on reflection, when he looks back at the last year he will be very proud of himself.

The right man won and Viviani was too strong. They are tough athletes

That's a 17th silver for Great Britain at these Games, a 41st in total. Only China and the USA have more, but GB remain ahead of China on the medal table by 16 golds to 15.

Viviani is in tears, it means so much to him and he had to work so hard. It's great to see this level of emotion.

Cavendish fought hard, he got that medal that's eluded him for so long. Perhaps not the colour he'd like but boy, he earned that silver. He did the best job he could.

No real emotion from Cavendish. The helmet is off as he continues to go round and round. He finds his family in the crowd and goes in for a cuddle. For the first time he will be on an Olympic podium.

After so long, after all the heartache, Mark Cavendish has an Olympic medal. He takes silver in the omnium, making sure that Lasse Hansen can't get past on the final sprint. Italian Elia Viviani wins gold and is an emotional wreck as he crosses the line. 

Cavendish is ahead...

The bell...

Two to go. The long sprint is on...

Cavendish has gone man-to-man on Hansen. Think Tony Adams on Alan Shearer.

Five to go. One last push. Simple equation for Cavendish - finish ahead of Hansen, win silver.

Alexandra Kosylo: If the omnium wasn't complicated enough -try watching it from Florence in Italian! Missing the BBC coverage!

Stephen Le Quesne: This omnium race is something else. Fingers crossed that Cavendish does not get penalised for the crash before. 

Point for Cavendish. He's alone in the silver medal position. 10 to go...

Cavendish is 10 points behind the leader, but picking up a lap to gain 20 points looks out of the question. The pace has dropped. We're down to two sprints...
