    Men's keirin

    Sir Chris Hoy
    Six-time Olympic cycling champion on BBC One

    That was a special ride from Jason Kenny. When he opened up the taps he smoked them.

    It was like he was on a different level to the other riders.

    He is playing to his strengths. He has a greater top speed than anyone and as long as he doesn't get caught up in the battle he should be very good in the final.

    Kenny has just ridden away. 

    That was a remarkable ride. They couldn't stay with him.

    Keirin

    Ridiculous from Jason Kenny. Just plain ridiculous.

    He's down in fifth coming into the final half a lap and then he goes ballistic, tearing down the outside and winning it by a couple of metres. He demolished the field.

    For those who remember bumbags, or Knebworth, or Woodstock, or Dylan going electric, there was a time when no-one expected Britain to win seven Olympic gymnastics medals in the same century let alone the same Games.

    An incredible Rio 2016 for the squad, who have played their part in Britain's rise up the medal table.

    Amy Tinkler's bronze on the floor, the 16-year-old sharing the podium with greats such as Biles and Raisman, was an incredible feat.

    What's a keirin?published at 20:50 British Summer Time 16 August 2016

    Men's keirin

    It may look odd this race, but it's brutal.

    A derny controls the pace pf the race for five and half laps, increasing the speed from 30km/h to 50km/h.

    And then bang! With two and a half laps to go the derny disappears and it's a flat out sprint to the finish.

    The top three will go into the final at 22:14.

    So Laura Trott is nearly there.

    Can her fiancee Jason Kenny reach the keirin final?

    They've drawn lots to decide where they start and now they're on track, ready to go.

    Jason Kenny was watching his fiancée Laura Trott in the flying lap and let out an "oooh" when she won the discipline to increase her lead in the omnium with only the points race left.

    They meet in the warm-up/down area and he flashes her a massive smile.

    Katy Marchant will have mixed emotions on this one but I think she can be proud of herself.

    She still has a very good chance of taking a bronze here.

    Similar to last time, as Katy Marchant lets Kristina Vogel lead it out but she looks more in control this time.

    She gets up to top speed, but all the experience of the multi-time world champion of the German sees her comfortably through to the final.

    So it's a bronze race for Marchant against Elis Ligtlee.

    Becky James will face Vogel in the final.

    The first race will happen at about 21:44 BST

    Katy Marchant has to use her speed in the next race. She has a greater top speed but Vogel is so smart and used all of her tactical nous in the first race.

    GB's Katy Marchant got it a bit wrong against Kristina Vogel in their first sprint race. She trails 1-0 - and they're off in the second race.

    Marchant must win to take it to a decider and give her hope of facing Becky James in the final.

    GB's Becky James lets Elis Ligtlee lead out into the final lap and after the first bend the Welsh woman spins past her opponent and charges easily to the line. Phenomenal sprinting.

    James is in the final and is guaranteed at least silver in the final from 21:44 BST.
