    Laura Kenny is no stranger to these kinds of accidents and she will only be thinking about the next race and how to score points to get back into it.

    Balsamo was the one who brought that one down. It doesn't look too bad in slow motion but that is a scary one to be involved in.

    Laura Kenny is back up on her bike and is OK thankfully but half the field went down there. Hopefully everyone else is uninjured too.

    Consistency is what is required to be successful in the omnium, not necessarily to win all the disciplines but to figure in the points to stay with the top group.

  16. Watch: Kipchoge wins men's marathon goldpublished at 01:52 British Summer Time 8 August 2021

    Eliud Kipchoge's 1:20 winning margin is the biggest victory margin in an Olympics marathon since 1972.

    Watch how he did it below.

    Schedulers have held back the men's keirin until the last day of the Olympics (02:20-05:15), knowing the track cycling discipline has a huge Japanese following.

    The keirin, where riders are paced by a motorised scooter for several laps before a sprint finish, was invented in Japan and added to the Olympics in 2000 after Japanese pressure.

    Sir Chris Hoy (2008, 2012) and Jason Kenny (2016) have won the past three Olympic keirin titles for GB.

    Kenny or Jack Carlin could be medal contenders for Britain this time around, with Kenny chasing a British record seventh gold and ninth medal in total.

    Laura Kenny will bid to win the women's omnium for the third successive Games (02:00, 02:45, 03:26 and 04:25).

    Victory would bring her a sixth gold - the same as her husband Jason - and a seventh medal in total.

    Japan are yet to win a medal at the Izu Velodrome but Yumi Kajihara,who is the reigning world champion, could make it a day to remember for the hosts.

    Men's marathon

    "Firstly I want to say thank you to everyone for the support and to those that made the Olympics, Tokyo 2020 happen.

    "I am happy to defend my title and to show the next generation, if you respect the sport and be disciplined you can accomplish your assignment.

    "It was not really easy, but it was really hard for everybody if you consider the weather. I am happy to cross the finishing line as the fastest.

    "Tokyo 2020 has happened, it is means a lot, it means there is hope. It means we are on the right track to a normal life. So we are on the track to our normal lives that is the meaning of the Olympics.

    "Thank you to all fans, to all the people in the whole world who was watching, be inspired."
