    Bronze medal match: Australia 3-4 USA

    Full time at the Kashimo Stadium and the USA take bronze!

    What an entertaining match that was, an absolute roller-coaster.

    A valiant effort from the Matildas but it's the USA who take the spoils - perhaps not the colour they set out for in Tokyo but that was a match worthy of any gold medal one.

    Last minute upset on the cards?published at 10:50 British Summer Time 5 August 2021

    Bronze medal match: Australia 3-4 USA

    What a finish!

    Four minutes added on as Emily Gielnik hammers from range and that has come out of nowhere.

    That makes for a nervy few minutes for the USA.

    Men's omnium

    So that's a first cycling gold medal on the track at this Games for Team GB.

    It's their 16th gold in total in Tokyo and that also brings up the half century for Great Britain in the overall medal count.

    50 not out. A good knock so far.

    A quick few words from Matt Walls to BBC Sport: "I managed to get a good lead coming into the end. It's been a hard day but I came into that points race with a bit of a lead and breathing room.

    "Thank you to all my family and friends, I wouldn't be here without them, especially my parents."

    Matt Walls has absolutely bossed the men's omnium, delivering in each of the four races.

    He takes the gold medal on 153 points, with Campbell Stewart way behind on 129 points in silver and Elia Viviani on 124 in bronze. Sensational.

    Matt Walls has been the class of the feld throughout the event. Fortune favours the bold - he attacked early and he was tactically masterful.

    Men's omnium

    Matt Walls, you beauty!

    What a sensational performance and the Great Britain rider takes gold!

    Unbelievable stuff by the 23-year-old from Oldham and he is Olympic champion. Soak it up, Matt. Such a controlled, composed display. Brilliant.

    Campbell Stewart of New Zealand takes silver and it's bronze for Italy's Elia Viviani.

    It's a nail-biting finish for the podium places but Matt Walls is riding to gold here.

    Two minutes of riding left.

    The points have been taken away from the Frenchman and Campbell Stewart gets himself onto the podium.

    Men's omnium

    Matt Walls leads by 25 points and if he can stick with his rivals that should be enough to see him home. Strong stuff from the 23-year-old but there's a scrap for the other podium places, that's if Walls can hold on and stay solid here.

    So it's Matt Walls, Elia Viviani and Benjamin Thomas making up the podium as it stands. Jan-Willem van Schip is in the mix too and so is Campbell Stewart. But Walls leads the way. Fifteen to go...

    Matt Walls, how are your nerves? He's minutes away from becoming an Olympic champion, but this is track cycling and as we saw earlier with Katy Marchant, anything can happen. This is to win GB's 50th medal of the Tokyo Games and 16th gold!

    Just 21 laps to go...

    The group that Walls has got to keep an eye on has got smaller and smaller.

    He's ridden tactically well, physically well, technically well. He's counted down the laps and he's got himself in such a great position here.

    The squabble for spots lower down the podium will help Walls here.

    Men's omnium

    A dizzying 100 laps of the track after three previous energy-sapping races, no doubt the lactic acid is starting to flow as the legs beginning screaming for these riders.

    Matt Walls leads by 30 points from Italy's Elia Viviani and we're heading for an exciting finish with 31 laps to go.

    It's getting lively with Matt Walls again with de Ketele for company.
