    Kenny loses sprintpublished at 08:54 British Summer Time 5 August 2021

    Men's individual sprint

    OK, Jason Kenny, here we go...

    The reigning Olympic champion against the world champion, Kenny tucks in behind and will have to go for it as the bell rings, the British rider looks to squeeze round the outside but Harrie Lavreysen just holds him off and it's the Dutchman who wins it.

    Kenny still has a chance but needs to win the next two races in this best-of-three tussle.

    Tom Bosworth looks as though he has dropped off the back of the pack, and it looks like Callum Wilkinson has just had a yellow warning.

    Men's omnium - tempo race

    Matt Walls was very impressive. He looked like he was in trouble, but he instantly got onto a counter attack and picked up some points, he finished third.

    Who'll take the tempo race? It is Jan Willem Schip of the Netherlands, with Benjamin Thomas of France and Great Britain's Matt Walls behind him.

    Elia Viviani, Kenny de Ketele, Niklas Larsen and Benjamin Thomas have also nabbed 20 points after gaining a lap, but Matt Walls has countered and earned the same windfall.

    He's up the top of the leaderboard with Thomas and Thery Schir.

    Chris Boardman
    Olympic cycling champion on BBC TV

    This event is relentless.

    They're sprinting every 16 seconds - it's absolutely brutal. France's Thomas is the one that's going to close this one down with 27 laps to go.

    Matt Walls has decided that the pace of the race is so high that there's not going to be an out and out attack, so he's going to try and gain some points.

    We think Tom Bosworth is on a yellow warning but it is difficult to see when they are still in a pack like this

    Quan's golden divepublished at 08:39 British Summer Time 5 August 2021

    Women's 10m platform final

    Amid all the madness on at the cycling velodrome, China's 14-year-old Quan Hongchan was in the diving pool winning the battle of the teenagers against team-mate Chen Yuxi, 15, to take gold.

    Bronze went to Australia's Melissa Wu - who at 29 wins her first Olympic medal since Synchro silver in Beijing back in 2008 when Quan was only 18 months old.

    Britain's Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix and Lois Toulson finished seventh and ninth respectively.

    It was a good ride by the Frenchman Vigier. Webster kept control but used a lot of energy to do so and paid the price in the final quarter of the lap.

    GB's Bosworth in actionpublished at 08:32 British Summer Time 5 August 2021

    Men's 20km race walk

    Team GB race walker Tom Bosworth caused a touch of controversy last week when he said the base for athletes in Sapporo "feels like prison" and the food being served up was "cold slop", though yesterday he apologised if his comments had caused offence.

    It is finally race day for the 31-year-old, who finished sixth in Rio and will be taking on the 20km course in Sapporo.

    The race has been moved to the city 800km north of Tokyo, which is located on Hokkaido - the second largest of Japan's many islands - and hosted the 1972 Winter Olympics.

    It's still 30 degrees, however, should be a walk in the park...

    'Sport is so fragile'published at 08:29 British Summer Time 5 August 2021

    Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill
    London 2012 Olympic heptathlon champion on BBC Radio 5 Live

    This is sport - it's so fragile you can be at the top of your game on the world stage and in an instant it's snatched away from you.

    For athletes like Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Dina Asher Smith they had fantastic 2019 seasons picking up medals, in that sense they were ready - you go into the winter season in fantastic shape you just have to maintain that level of training and then before you know it it's the 2020 Olympics but that changed for everyone.

    A whole athlete's world is designed around structure and knowing where those fixed points of competition are and when that changes it can have a massive impact on you physically and mentally.

    'Great ride from Kenny'published at 08:28 British Summer Time 5 August 2021

    Sir Chris Hoy

    Great ride from Kenny. He's such a smart rider, he really pushed on there, he had the legs.

    He got to the front, controlled the race and imposed his tactics. Relatively comfortable.

    Jason Kenny is straight back at it and takes charge of the repechage this time to see off Azizulhasni Awang of Malaysia and Japan's Yuta Wakimoto to make it through!

    One race more than he'd have liked, but the Brit is into the quarter-finals.

    Tom: Think track cycling need to rethink punishments, relegating to the back for crossing a line but a chance to compete for gold if you cause a major crash.

    Neale: The cyclists are tough, they come off yet can’t wait to get back on the bike the next day.

    Richard: Wow. Marchant absolutely taken out. It looked like a cynical foul to stop a Premier League counter attack. I'm not a rules expert but surely that can't stand?
