Hi, everyone, Ricky here inside the velodrome in Rio,

:00:36.:00:41.

where records have been smashed, personal bests have been

:00:42.:00:44.

Team GB have really dominated here in the velodrome,

:00:45.:00:51.

including the likes of Laura Trott and Jason Kenny.

:00:52.:00:56.

Laura has become the first British woman to win

:00:57.:00:59.

four Olympic gold medals by defending her omnium title.

:01:00.:01:02.

It is a special, special Olympic moment for Great Britain.

:01:03.:01:07.

I am so happy that it all came together.

:01:08.:01:22.

I honestly can't thank everyone enough.

:01:23.:01:25.

Her partner, Jason Kenny, followed, winning the Kirin

:01:26.:01:31.

He now has the same number of golds as cycling legend Sir Chris Hoy.

:01:32.:01:40.

I was screaming on my chair and dancing a lot to the music.

:01:41.:01:43.

It has made me want to be in the Olympics when I am older.

:01:44.:01:52.

In the sprint, Becky James was awarded this silver medal

:01:53.:01:56.

Giles Scott beaming with joy, winning the men's Finn.

:01:57.:02:08.

Jack Laugher was back on the diving board after his sensational gold

:02:09.:02:14.

alongside Chris Mears earlier in the week.

:02:15.:02:16.

Another medal to add to his collection.

:02:17.:02:23.

She is one of Britain's youngest athletes at the Games,

:02:24.:02:25.

I honestly don't have a clue, it is so unreal.

:02:26.:02:34.

Another bronze in gymnastics and a first for Team GB -

:02:35.:02:43.

Nile Wilson winning Britain's first-ever medal

:02:44.:02:44.

So the medals just keep on coming for Team GB.

:02:45.:02:54.

So as we saw there, another incredible night for our cyclists.

:02:55.:02:57.

Every member of the track team has now got a medal.

:02:58.:02:59.

Well, joining me now is the former head of British Cycling,

Laura Trott and Jason Kenny making history. What was your reaction?

medals. As boyfriend and girlfriend, it is incredible! Wives at the Team

:03:23.:03:32.

GB is so good at cycling? We have great talent and great coaching. We

:03:33.:03:35.

have great support behind the coaching and they also think we have

:04:13.:04:18.

winning cyclist? You've got to be hungry. Really, really wanted. It is

we can see, it is worth it. What is next for Team GB? I think they will

:04:32.:04:35.
