Good morning, I'm Jenny with all the top stories this Wednesday.

What a night it was for Team GB in the velodrome in the Rio 2016

:00:21.:00:23.

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

:00:39.:00:46.

where records have been smashed, personal bests have been achieved

:00:47.:00:48.

Team GB have really dominated here in the

velodrome, including the likes of Laura Trott and Jason Kenny.

:00:53.:00:58.

:00:59.:01:01.

to win four Olympic gold medals by defending her omnium title.

:01:02.:01:04.

It is a special, special Olympic moment for

:01:05.:01:07.

I can't believe it. I actually can't believe it.

:01:08.:01:16.

I am so happy that it all came together.

:01:17.:01:32.

I honestly can't thank everyone enough.

:01:33.:01:35.

Our partner, Jason Kenny, followed, winning the Kirin.

:01:36.:01:39.

He has six golds, the same as cycling legend Sir Chris Hoy.

:01:40.:01:46.

I was screaming on my chair and dancing to the music. It was really

:01:47.:01:51.

good. It was just amazing to see it. It has made me want to be in the

:01:52.:01:56.

Olympics when I am older. It is superhuman. In the sprint, Becky

James was awarded this silver medal and are completely at the bronze.

:02:54.:02:57.

Sticking with the Olympics, Simone Biles has become one

:02:58.:03:01.

of the biggest stars of this year's Games in Rio.

:03:02.:03:03.

The American gymnast has stunned the world

:03:04.:03:05.

with her awesome routines, and last night she

:03:06.:03:07.

She's the most searched-for gymnast online, has a move named

:03:08.:03:20.

after her and has even been described as one of

:03:21.:03:22.

Simone Biles, Team USA's superhuman competitor.

:03:23.:03:25.

At only 19 years old and just 142 centimetres tall,

:03:26.:03:27.

Simone has won a whopping four gold medals and a bronze

:03:28.:03:30.

Simone grew up in Texas in America and first got into gymnastics

:03:31.:03:41.

when she went on a school trip at just six years old.

:03:42.:03:45.

Since then, she has taken part in lots of competitions and has even

:03:46.:03:48.

smashed the record for winning the most medals ever at

:03:49.:03:50.

You were hoping to maybe get five golds here...

:03:51.:03:55.

No, that was everyone else's goal for me.

:03:56.:03:58.

Why do you think people put this pressure on you?

:03:59.:04:01.

I mean, surely you put the pressure on yourself and that is enough?

:04:02.:04:04.

Yeah, so I think everyone sees the potential in me,

:04:05.:04:06.

so they hope that is the result in the end.

:04:07.:04:09.

But I think bronze is still pretty good.

:04:10.:04:16.
