Great Britain can be really pleased with that. Dramatic racing that we've seen today, it's been amazing.

We're still waiting to see if the Danes will be allowed to compete for the gold later, they could be disqualified. The British team have excelled. Everything is kicking off at the velodrome.

As if to prove the point the Netherlands shred the aforementioned OR by around half a second.

Harrie Lavreysen and Jeffrey Hoggland in particular looked like they had rockets in their boots.

Great Britain against the Netherlands is going to be such a great final. The Netherlands have dominated this event in the last couple of years but when it comes to the Olympics you can never discount Team GB.

Didn't last long.

Ryan Owens, Jack Carlin and Jason Kenny shave three tenths of a second off.

Great effort from the British trio.

As the lead rider in the team, you always have to keep your eyes on the team you're pursuing. It's called the pursuit for good reason. He clearly wasn't looking.

Charlie Tanfield did the right thing in staying behind and on the black line, that was the Danish rider's fault.

Two races, two Olympic records. Not a bad morning's work from Australia's Matthew Glaetzer.

More medals to come? GB's men put down a marker in qualifying in the team sprint.

Lots of drama in the velodrome... Here's what's coming up elsewhere for the rest of the day.

• Women's 200m (13:50) GB's Dina Asher-Smith has withdrawn from the event because of injury. Elaine Thompson-Herah is seeking to secure the 100m-200m sprint double.
• Cycling women's team pursuit final (09:26) and men's team sprint final (09:44) medals are decided.
• Men's welterweight boxing division final (11:05)
• GB's Keely Hodgkinson, Jemma Reekie and Alex Bell compete in the women's 800m final (13:25)
• GB'S Joe Fraser is a medal threat on the final day of artistic gymnastics (09:00).
• Show jumping begins (11:00-14:45) with three Britons in action - Ben Maher, Scott Brash and Holly Smith.

Andrew Priestley: His insurance company won’t be paying out on that claim, the Dane just wasn’t paying attention.

Lawrence Monk: Disgraceful of the front rider of the Danish team in the 4000m cycling pursuit. Crashes into team GB and screams at him?! Hoping he will be penalised for that. Outrageous.

Jo Hooper: Disgraceful behaviour from Denmark shouting at Team GB - it was their fault!

Coming up - Three gymnastics medals up for grabspublished at 08:56 British Summer Time 3 August 2021

08:56 BST 3 August 2021

There are three gold medals up for grabs on the final day of artistic gymnastics action in Tokyo.

First up at 09:00 BST it's the men's parallel bar final where Team GB's Joe Fraser hopes to get on the podium. The 22-year-old is the reigning world champion after winning gold in Stuttgart in 2019.

The women's beam final follows at 09:50 and all eyes are on Simone Biles. The 24-year-old is taking up her final chance of an individual medal at Tokyo 2020 after withdrawing from four other finals.

Last but not least, the men's horizontal bar final is at 10:39. After Japanese legend Kohei Uchimura failed to make the final, teenager Daiki Hashimoto is among the favourites for gold.

There was absolutely no reason for that at all! They do look down, they look between the arms, maybe he didn't realise just how fast he was coming up on Great Britain there.

I think Denmark will win the heat as they technically caught Great Britain. But they were just simply not looking where they were going.

I'm not sure why he's screaming at the British rider.

Frederik Madsen does not look happy he seems pretty peeved that Charlie Tanfield was on the track in his way. Where else was he going to be? The Dane just didn't look at all. Totally oblivious.

Tom: I've been at the velodrome under an hour and I've lost count of how many world records I've seen.

Sash: Is there anything better than the pursuit split screen!

The Danish rider crashes into the back into the British rider.

His head is down he is not looking where he is going.

You have to hold your line if someone is approaching you like that and that is exactly what the GB rider did.

Men’s team pursuit

Crash. Not seen that before. Frederik Madsen ploughs into the back of Charlie Tanfield and takes the British rider down.

Both teams are now down to two riders. Can someone check the rules. How do they take a time from this?

Normally the time of the third rider is taken.

The wheels have very much come off for GB. Denmark are going to catch them, the gaps is over three seconds.

Denmark are really getting into their stride now. They have pulled this round and put nearly a second into GB, who are down to three.

You have to ride your own race, they know what they are capable of down to the millisecond.

We're expecting records to go by tenths here and there, but we're seeing lumps knocked out of it. That's because of Italy's Filippo Gana, what a finish from him.

They held him back and then that last kilometre he did pretty much on his own. He towed them to the end.

It is hard to fathom just how fast that is.

Denmark used to hold the world record, before Italy nabbed it a few minutes ago, so GB have got to asolutely nail this one.

Impressively, they are ahead after the opening kilometre.
