Day 5 World Track Cycling Championships

Good afternoon. Welcome to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. 22,000

people have been through the doors here at the Vale drome. This is what

they've come to see today. Very shortly we will see the women's

semifinals. Then we will see Jason Kenny in the men's keirin 2nd round.

His fiancee Laura Trott shortly after that in the final race of the

women's omnium. She leads the points standings. Hopefully, Jason Kenny in

the men's keirin final but everything could happen. Finally,

the men's Madison with Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish joining

forces are probably for the 1st time. I'm joined by Sir Chris Hoy

and Dame Sarah Storey. We're starting with the man who filled

your shoes as the king of British sprinting. Jason Kenny was through

to the best of 3 final. Simon Brotherton and Chris Boardman can

tell is exactly what happened. COMMENTATOR: What a battle this

promises to be. This will come down to tactics. Both have shown

themselves to be the strongest sprinters here. The right riders in

this final, for sure. Jason Kenny looking to be the world sprint

champion for a 2nd time in his career. A 3rd rainbow jersey for

him. Best of 3 final. Glaetzer 23 years of age from Adelaide. A rider

on the way up. He has beaten 2 world champions to get here, including the

defending champion from France. He is accelerating, trying to make it

look like he isn't. He nearly tempted Kenny to coincide and

stalled him. They take the bell and Kenny goes up the banking. Can Kenny

close the gap down the back straight road on by the London crowd. On the

line. I think the Australian just gets it on the line. Glaetzer has

been excellent in this series of races. The pressure is on him

because he is so close to the gold medal. Here we go. The sprint is on.

They take the bell. Next time over the line, fighting for 1st position.

Glaetzer on the outside of Kenny. Kenny is digging really deep. It is

on for the Australian. But what a run from Jason Kenny! He is still

alive in this final. It will go to the wire. The World Championship

final goes to a decider. Great Britain against Australia. Jason

Kenny, the Olympic champion against Matthew Glaetzer will lead on this

opening lap. He is not short of support. We talked about the power

needed for the sprint finish. Jason Kenny has power to wait for that

superb acceleration that Glaetzer kept him pinned with in that superb

previous round. They are going at a fair old lick. They both want to get

this 1 under way. Glaetzer did well when he led in the previous round.

He might see himself as having an advantage, if he can stop Kenny from

gaining the front position. Riding with the Australian here. Jason

Kenny keeping him in close proximity. They are not hanging

around. A lap and a half to go. They want to get it over with. Different

tactics. Glazer will lead from the front. Jason Kenny looks to get the

advantage of going up but he has a lot of work to do. Into the back

straight. Can Jason Kenny claw the gap back. Into the finishing

straight they go. Jason Kenny is going to do it! He is the champion

of the world. For the 3rd time in his career. His 2nd world sprint

crown. The Olympic champion is back where he likes racing best. At the

Velodrome in London. Gold for Jason Kenny and he did it the hard way.

That was much sprinting at its absolute best. STUDIO: Jason Kenny

absolutely elated as you would expect. His fiancee Laura Trott. A

funny little wink between them. After that, I'm afraid he was sick

into a bucket because of the effort it had taken out of him! How big an

achievement is that? As big as anything he has achieved so far.

Definitely up there with his Olympic performance in 2012. So great to see

him back on form. People were mystified why he cannot reproduce

this form year after year. Form is elusive. Whatever has happened, in

his head, he has got himself together. You see what it meant to

him as he crossed the line. He is a calm guy who doesn't give away a lot

usually but you can see what it meant to him. Sarah, important

timing in an Olympic year. Definitely. You can't get better

timing than that. We are going to the women's sprint semifinals. This

will be cat and mouse. COMMENTATOR: Hello, everyone. We are about to go

with this 1st semifinal in the women's sprint. 1 of the all-time

greats in the white with the greenhouse it. Anna Meares, the

Olympic champion who beat the British contender in the Olympics.

She has had some time out of the sport. She looked as though she was

heading for retirement. Thinking about life after cycling. She

realised she was still enjoying it. Straight back in at the top level as

we would expect. It is a 3 lap race, the best of 3 semifinal. The Chinese

rider will lead off on the opening half lap. Jun Hong Lin showed good

form in the World Cup meeting. Meares took time out after the

Olympic Games in London and has been slowly working her way back. She has

been plagued by back problems over the last year. She roared back

strongly in the Australian national Championships at the start of the

year adding to her enormous collection of national

championships. It seems to be an issue that they are able to manage

at the moment. Hoping for a clear run, injury free until the Rio

Olympics. Very carefully riding here, almost touching the back

wheel. Trying to get this sprint under way with 2 laps under way.

Moving up the track now. Trying to encourage Meares.

Meares being watched very carefully by Jun Hong Lin. The sprint has

opened up. The Chinese rider keeps looking behind her. She needs to get

going here and try and hang on with Meares trying to go around the

outside and finding it difficult. It has been taken by Jun Hong Lin from

China. An excellent result for the Chinese rider. An interesting

result. Almost as I mentioned experience, Meares allowed herself

to be dictated to. It was very close. No potential for accelerating

onto the wheel and using the slipstream. She was very close all

the way through. Left at all to do in the final bend. A bit of a

surprise. Anna Meares didn't have the speed to come around and get

past Jun Hong Lin. She has one more chance if she is to make it through

into the World Championship final. Junhong Lin still with her nose in

front in the semifinal. Vogel is one of the fans favourites

from around the world. She is up against a very strong Chinese

opponent. Their best sprinter over the last ten years hasn't even made

it to the final. They were disqualified as they were in the

run-up to the Olympic Games with the changeover. Clearly, though, the

physical ability is there in the team. Zhong leads off but you would

favour Vogel. She is a very flamboyant competitor, gives great

interviews, very succinct and strong character. Christina Vogel has come

back so well after being seriously injured in 2009. Involved in an

accident on the road. A couple of days in a coma with various broken

bones. She has fought back to the top. Works as a police officer. That

will be her full-time career when she finishes cycling. She has taken

time out in the lead up to the Olympic Games to concentrate on her

dream of becoming Olympic sprint champion. Deciding to put some pace

into this ride. Taking the lead there might have been a mistake.

Letting her have the advantage. Pushing up the speed, weaving around

the track to make it difficult to know which side to pass. Slowly

accelerating as they take the bell. Vogel leading the way. Zhong trying

to close the gap down the closing straight. Not very much. She is

starting to close it. Stena -- Vogel was in a race that she didn't expect

to be in. She was in an excellent position but I think she has been

beaten here by the rider from China. Indeed she has. The two big names in

the semifinal are both behind in the best of three series. That was

beautifully ridden by Zhong. She didn't panic. Accelerated into the

slipstream. A final kick in the home straight took her over the top of

the German. STUDIO: China have the advantage in both semifinals but it

is best of three. We will be back for the second race is in age. It is

the keirin coming on. The warm weather biker leads out and then

peels away and the races sprint. It can be dramatic and quite dangerous

have a look at Jason Kenny's first ride this morning. Talk is it. --

talk as through it. Unfortunately, the American goes

down, too. It's one of those events. There's not much space to manoeuvre.

The guys are going fast. Jason is doing all right here. Watch the

rider, the Polish man, coming out on his lane, almost causing a second

accident but Jason kept his cool. Then the German on the outside. Goes

around the outside. And Jason are safely through to the second round.

Showing that the power of Jason Kenny whose speedy as well but has

unbelievable balance for the visitors who he will face in the

second round. Obviously last night, winning the Sprint, physically

exhausting for him. At the productive it to back-up? Very tough

but the hardest part is the morning session. During the qualifying ride.

You got to do it safely. He's had a chance to recover, and knows this is

the last session and we are hopefully on for a medal if you can

get through this. COMMENTATOR: As you would expect and

excellent line-up for the Keirin second round. Kelemen is the current

champion. You have the champion from Great Britain, is also previously

won the title. He's getting a hero 's welcome as he returns to the

scene of his triumph last night. The New Zealander has a gold medal in

the team Sprint as does Sam Webster. The German has become the new world

kilo champion. And the Russian is a European silver medallist in this

race. A collapse of the track. The journey bike at the front increasing

its place. Before disappearing with 2.5 laps to go. And then the race is

on. They have to stay behind it. He's happy to take the last position

at the moment. Having watched the footage a few times from that

morning, looked in great shape, looking around, sprinting full tilt,

monitoring things and calculating what he needed to do just to

qualify, so he may feel stiff after yesterday's escapades, which he got

a great reward for, of course, but he looks good this morning. The

riders have been through the same process, so everybody is at a

similar level of fatigue. You have to fill it in the first three, and

then go through to the final. -- finish. Then you are going to the

minor final. A good competition here for Jason Kenny from Great Britain.

I think he could get into the top three here. The Russian is the first

rider behind the bike and then the two riders from New Zealand there.

Immediately following the Russian. Dawkins is the first of the two

Kiwis. Sam Webster, the Commonwealth Sprint champion, is wearing white

gloves. Then the last rider, who won the last title, brought to a great

crescendo and the rider in the blue, with a red and white stripe down his

back is Kelemen, the European champion Czech Republic. Jason Kenny

up the rear. It will be interesting to see whether the New Zealanders

tried to use their strength in numbers fall it looks like they

will. At the moment, Dawkins going to the front. The kilo champion is

on his wheels. Jason Kenny in third place looking hungry. Kelemen at the

back. Following in second place, Dawkins. He is right on his heels.

One lap to go. He is big, strong, powerful and racing at the front,

Dawkins is trying to chase them down. Jason Kenny is in a good

position to qualify for the final. Jason Kenny is across the line. He

rode that absolutely beautifully. You could see that he said, right,

I'm in third place. I just need to stop them coming around. He was

looking backwards during the Sprint. He just needed to do enough to

qualify. They could not have done better. A great leader, Kelemen. So,

he led from the front and stayed there all the way round but we know

he has got the staying power and show that over at four laps the

other day, winning the gold medals and Dawkins was always competitive

at the front of the race and untroubled in terms of the final but

Jason Kenny, as well, in terms of making it through to a final in a

Keirin, that was about as untroubled as it gets. He will be happy with

that. It was almost a repeat of the first round where he did what he

needed to do and road with great confidence. I suppose, when evil but

got a gold medal in your bag, you know you're already world champion

so everything else is a bonus. He can afford to ride with confidence.

It was interesting to see the New Zealanders thought about getting

together but no one was going to give the opportunity. Confirmation

of the result: the Russian rider just edged out. Sam Webster bringing

up the rear. Here we are in the thick of the race looking at the

Russian rider Shurshin. You get the indication of the hurly-burly of it

in the final couple of laps of the Keirin race. Elbows out at times but

that one, certainly for those at the front, a relatively clean ride and

straightforward. Those three flew to the final. The second semifinal

coming up now including: Perves does not appear to be on top

form this week but he may prove us wrong this afternoon. The German in

there as well. There is Omelchenko from Azerbaijan. And here is Awang

from the lazier. The Japanese rider, who was third in the Japan track cap

Keirin last year. Perves, if he is informed, had a decent draw in the

semifinal and should be able to get through. We will find out what he

has got in his legs now. We've not seen his form yet, that's for sure.

A little bit lacklustre considering how dominant he was 12 months ago.

Here is a chance to redeem himself. The German rider in this race is in

second bite at the moment, Maximilian Levy. An interesting

character. He finished second behind Chris Foy in the Olympic Games a few

years ago in the Keirin and what a final that was and Chris Holley's

six Olympic title. -- Sir Chris. The real big hitter in a semifinal

line-up but Awang from the lazier is very popular and has been around for

very long time as well finished with a silver medal six years ago. He is

a very canny rider and will spot every opportunity. One of the best

it handlers on the track. Levy, real power. One of the favourites here.

Perves, something of an unknown. Lacklustre start to the week.

Interesting to see if there is a surprisingly from somebody. Maybe

from the Korean rider who was just behind the journey bike at the

moment. He won the title of the new Asian championships. The team Sprint

champion of Asia. We'll keep an eye on him. Korea and Germany leading

the way. Japan in third. Awang in the yellow and black of Malaysia.

Perves in the navy blue of France. And then Omelchenko from Azerbaijan.

You can see them jockey for position. They can't overlap the

journey bike, remember. They can accelerate early. But exactly what

has happened here. Awang moving up from the rear portion of the field

up into second place at the moment. Following the rider from Korea. He

leads the way as he moves around the outside. A very aesthetic

celebration there. One lap to go now. He leads the way. Levy. The

Japanese rider tries to go around outside. Being held off by Awang at

the moment. And so, Germany, Malaysia and Japan go through and

the defending champion will not be able to defend his title in the

final. He has not got the former. He looked out of sorts this morning. He

was never a factor in this race. You can see him there, look at the gap

back to Perves. He could not accelerate. It could not match it at

all. Levy, the speed he went forward, sheer power, he was not

going to do it, qualify. He came in lengths ahead of the opposition.

Chris Holley can tell you all about Maximilian Levy, one of its great

rivals over the years. Jason Kenny of course has already qualified.

They will all go for gold a little later on.

CLARE BALDING: It's going to be some gold medal race. Levy went so early,

Chris. He was flying ahead of the rest of them. He went with about 1.5

laps to go. Incredible performance. The best we've seen him since 2012.

Would you make him the favourite for the final? How did you assess

Jason's race? He has to conserve energy up to this point so far. He

knows he can do a thousand kilos a metre, his competitor. He leaves to

conserve energy. He can accelerate off the wheel. He is accelerating

here. He isn't is in the perfect position. He's got

feeling fantastic hasn't he? He's got nothing to prove now. If he can

get a medal in the Keirin, that will be fantastic for him. Being in the

form of such a big thing and you see someone like Perves gone out. The

French team generally have not been good, have they? They were so

dominant this time last year. The air, I'm speechless, really. Talking

a big names in cycling, Meares has to do when that if she is going to

contest the gold medal. COMMENTATOR: So, Meares in the last

chance saloon. The 32-year-old, the world Sprint champion back in 2011,

her Sprint medal was a bronze a year later in them well championships in

Melbourne head of the London games and Victoria Pendleton won the gold

medal that year both in London and in the World Championships. Meares

was a world champion as recently as a year ago in the Keirin but that's

the only world title she is one in the last four years and having lost

the first ride against Junhong, she has to win this one. It great

opportunity for Junhong to make it into the final and race for gold

this afternoon. A real surprise therefore Meares. Junhong rode

beautifully, confident ride. Going so slowly you could walk alongside

them at the moment. That's exactly what they have to do. A minimum of

half a lap of walking place. The number one position is obliged to

take the position. Two riders just watching each

other intently, looking out for any movement. Mind games between the

pair of them. Meares taking it very, very slowly on the opening lap.

Music in the auditorium also adds to the crowd. Surely psychological,

this. Just wait until it's time to unleash that Sprint. Power comes at

a cost. To sustain top speed frat handful of seconds. Great skill from

both of them and Meares just trying to force the issue little bit here.

So experienced, Meares. 11 times world champion. Twice in the Olympic

Games. And the reigning Olympic Sprint champion.

The first lap just completed between the pair of them. Junhong just

content to bite her time, not being forced into doing anything she

doesn't want to do by the Australian. Where just waiting to

see if they were going to do a standstill. It didn't happen too

much on the 250 track. It's not such a big advantage to get it in the

rear position but they can do that for 30 seconds and the gun will be

fired. If they continue to do that. Want a game of cat and mouse they

are playing here. There is only a lap and a half to go. The rider with

good acceleration is going to have an advantage. Meares is keeping it

as low as possible, so she thinks it is her. Junhong Lin takes a minor

advantage. It is on the line for Meares. She hasn't got enough. She

will have two settle for bronze at best. What a ride from Junhong Lin.

She wins in two straight rights. Meares says she is only at 90% of

her best didn't quite have that extra speed. She tried to control

the race holding the inside position which is exactly what she wanted to

do. There was an engine difference between the two. Junhong Lin

superior on formal. She could deal with the fact that she didn't have

it actively right. She made her come on the wrong way round on to banking

is. A worthy winner. Anna Meares who won silver in the keirin behind

Christina Vogel. She didn't have a bad championship. She said she was

happy with it. She won't be happy with losing straight rights to Lynne

John Hahn. She has had to take a step backwards in order to move

forward. A lot of her winter preparation was put on hold. Because

of her black rubber. -- because of her back problem.

Zhong Tianshi when the first race. We have had a few surprises in terms

of who has been winning these races. The British team have much to be

optimistic about but there is a greater strength in depth across the

world in track cycling. In terms of the sport, it can only be a good

thing. Certainly, in terms of women's sprinting. Becky James is

the big hope to come back for Rio. Assuming that she gets selected.

Both for the keirin and the sprint. Christina Vogel looking to add to

her seven world titles across the seven sprint disciplines. She has

been in this before. She doesn't give in or do mind games. She just

doesn't with power. She won't be fazed by being one down. We are

going for a standstill. The clock will have started. 30 seconds they

get. The lead rider is directed to lead-off. If they don't, they are

relegated. They used to go on for minutes. You could be waiting for

ten minutes or so for the race to continue. Two laps to go as they

come around this time. Both riders head to the top of the track. Vogel

is tempting Zhong Tianshi to come on the outside. She has let her get the

inside line. Zhong Tianshi on the inside now. Christina Vogel left the

door open. She found herself pushed through the barriers. Vogel has to

win this to get through to the final. Zhong Tianshi holds her

wrath. Around comes Vogel. Vogel has been beaten. What a turn up. And all

Chinese final to look forward to in the women's sprint. She was beaten

with about a lap to go. She gave away the front position. Realised

what she had done. Tried to accelerate but didn't have the power

to get around the top. Couldn't make it. It was too far to come around.

Banging elbows there. An extra ten metres way too much to ask. She

could almost see in her face that she knows she's not going to make

it. Their experience tells. Two tactical mistakes. Unusual for the

German. It is a surprise that she has not got through. She looked in

really good form here. Christina Vogel will not make it a hat-trick.

The coach who broke his hand slamming it across the table in

frustration at his team's disqualification will not be feeling

the pain now. Both his winning through to the final. Both races won

in straight rights here. That has got is underway. Confirmation that

Junhong Lin and Zhong Tianshi will race for gold and silver. Christina

Vogel will race against Anna Meares for the bronze and silver.

I feel like I'm going back to where it all began. The crowd are lifting

her. She is now in the lead. Before London 2012, I was taking it as it

came and I didn't know what to expect. Great riding, Laura! Laura

Trott is on fire! I love being in front of a home crowd. It is

massive. It really does give you that extra edge. The concluding

event in the Omnium. The gold medal is going to come to Laura Trott. The

feeling you get, the buzz is incredible. It is one that I really

look forward to. She just loves cycling. A huge smile and a huge

talent. She really is the queen of the track. She certainly is. Her

performances have been most impressive. She is so cool, calm and

collected on the track. They used to be her weak part but they are her

strength now. She burst to prominence in London 2012 but she

still is only 23 years old. Another Olympics to come. She was a junior

champion who has already been always been very talented. She came through

into the senior squad with her natural speed and ability to change

pace and hold the front for a long time. We have seen her do some huge

turns in the team pursuit. The way she backs up from race to race is

very impressive. She has had the busiest programme of anyone in the

team. She already has a bronze from the team pursuit and a gold medal

from the scratch race. The Omnium is a multidiscipline event. We are

coming to the last of six events. In the scratch race, Laura Trott won

the sprint from third. Next, the three kilometre individual pursuit.

Trott's time gave her second place. Behind her great rival Sarah Hamer

from the United States. The third race was her speciality. It came

down to a shoot out with Hamer. A win for Hamer and the two sat level

at the top of the rankings overnight. Today began the 500

metres time trial and the two leaders went off together. Trott's

explosive space gave her a 14 point advantage with two rights to go.

Next, the flying lap. Trott kept her advantage by clocking 14.2 16. It

extended her lead over Hamer. 12 points isn't very much when you have

a potential to win, we saw yesterday the German rider win 55 points. Not

as many sprints on offer. A shorter race. Everything is in the balance.

They have waited it towards the points race to favour the endurance

athletes. How was she feeling yesterday? She was a little bit down

after the elimination race. She has bounced back strongly and she seems

like she is focused and ready. Although Sarah Hamer beat her, she

has suffered since. Laura tried to box her in and get

her eliminated early. She had to go up the banking a lot and has

expended a lot of energy. 100 laps ahead of them with tens sprints.

Points for winning the sprints. Simon Brotherton and Chris Boardman

can explain to you how bonus points can be won. COMMENTATOR: Just

rolling around for the first of the 100 laps. The race will start when

they cross the line next time. Sprints every ten laps four points

on the line. Five points maximum, three, two, one. 50 points on the

cards. All importantly, as Claire alluded to, if you gain a lap, 20

points bonus and you are sprinting with everybody else for the next.

The potential is to overhaul the advantages which look very big but

can disappear quickly. Laura Trott overall has a 12 point lead over her

next competitor. 184 points. Sarah Hammer is in the bronze medal

position. Let Edmundson from Australia is fourth at the moment.

The Belgian in fifth. Alison Beveridge up there on 130. It is a

very strong field. Some really good riders here. The tactics are going

to be very interesting. We have got some strong riders. For some of the

riders, the gaps aren't very big. A couple of lap gains and suddenly

they can be a real threat. While they take a lap, they can mop up

points. Lots of riders are in the mix. The rider from the Netherlands

in Orange. Durer of Belgian at the front. A

really good road rider. The national champion of Belgium last year. One

couple of races on the road. She could be a factor. Close enough on

150 points to be a real threat. She can't be allowed to gain a lap. That

is what Laura Trott has to look out for. You must look at a wider group

as far as taking a lap is concerned. The first attack is from the

Italian. We saw her riding in the road on the women's Tour. She took a

couple of decent stage placings. Just get things moving more quickly.

Edmundson in the white with the yellow and Queen of Australia. Good

to see her performing well towards the top end after finally becoming

world champion last year. She had a nasty accident. BELL

Lawler trot in second place. The German is up there too but she is

being left behind. -- Laura Trott. Coming back stronger. But not strong

enough in that first Sprint. That's a very good positive start for Laura

Trott. Very cleverly written. She had an opportunity to take on the

lead with a lap to go but wisely stayed behind. Scoring the odd

points and saving energy. If she hadn't gone for that, Hammer were

taking the points. Laura Trott's leader goes off. 189. Hammer, USA,

169. Edmondson in fourth place at the moment, 152 points, a danger

rider. She's got some help this time. Alison Beveridge has won a

silver medal in the team pursuit in the week. She's involved at the

front. Edmondson knows she has to make this race animated. She has

some catching up to do. Quite a battle at the moment between here

and Hammer to get onto the podium. Sarah Hammer already collecting

three points from that first Sprint. A difficult race to control, this

one. As soon as someone falls, everyone will look at Laura Trott

and say, it's up to you to do the chasing. The rider from the

Netherlands, another really good road rider. She can power along all

day given half the chance. She will have a chance here because she is in

seventh place at the moment so no threat for Laura Trott, even if she

gains a lap so the onus is not on the British rider to do the chasing

here. She is really making some inroads here. Yes, seventh overall

at the moment on 126 points. Some considerable way down. The world

champion last year in the scratch race, she won the Omnium in the

World Cup. She's enjoying some daylight here. She has a lead of

over half a lap. The chase being led by the rider from China. But, at the

front, she is leading the way as she tries to gain a lap early. I think

she's going to do it. They have not been hanging around, either. I don't

know if she has been pushing into the rest and is about to pay the

price. Buy ahead of this next Sprint, she will take four points.

That will be 25 in total which will push her Apple board. Looking for

the points on offer and looking to keep going. Hopefully she can latch

onto the back of that pack and gain the extra points available should

she managed to do so. The China rider, Ling, looks like she will

claim three points. The rider with her was Gonzales of Venezuela.

Venezuela is getting a couple of points there. Laura Trott tucked

into the main field along with the other medal contenders at the

moment. This plays into the hands of Laura Trott. She's mopping up the

points, taking it away from the real threat. It's absolutely perfect for

her. Just 40 minutes of the back of that group. She'll certainly make

the junction which will put her into having a good chance of a podium.

Just one point behind a net Edmondson who was fourth at the

moment, should she gain a lap. She still working hard, WILD. Sarah

Hammer have been looking at opportunities to move up the table.

Now she would have to move backwards as well because Edmondson is bearing

down on her. Wild is about to be in a similar position. It's going to be

a tactically different position for the American very soon. The Belgian

at the other end of the pack at the front end, the pointy end, makes a

move, D'Hoore. She had help from the Italian Frapporti. She's really into

the red now. Looking to bridge onto that last meal. We've seen riders

get this close. And disappear backwards again. Never making

contact. I can't believe that will happen to ride of her quality. Up to

the junction now. Great writing the from Kirsten D'Hoore but she had to

dig deep the way things were in front of her. Going off the front

from Berthon. She won't have long to do that. This is relentless. She

only got a few moments to take a breath before she needs to work her

way towards the front. The advantage nullified by another attack. She is

now into fifth position. 151. Just one point behind Edmondson in

fourth, but she still has some work to do. They are on the Sprint lap

now and it looks as if it is the rider from Belarus at the front.

Coming from behind is Laura Trott trying to get into the points where

the Sarah Hammer. Five points for Belarus, three for Cuba and another

two for Laura. A psychological blow because she came over the top of

Sarah Hammer. A real psychological blow the four Hammer, I think. A

good race so far so Sarah Hammer moves up the track. There is the

situation in the overall standings. Laura Trott leading the way. Wild

gaming but still in fifth place having gained a lap on everybody

else. -- gaming for the LS from New Zealand attacks. Jason Kenny in

conversation with Mark Cavendish. We can look forward to those raising

this afternoon. Jason Kenny in the men's Hammer racing for a second

gold medal of the games and Mark Cavendish will line up alongside

Sarah Bradley Wiggins in the Madison. They won together in 2008.

This'll the first World Championship they written in the Madison since

then and what a finale to the championships it is. That is later

on this afternoon. This final day of the Track Cycling World

Championships. At the moment, we're watching Lauren Ellis, the

Commonwealth silver medallist, trying to gain a lap in which I

think she will gain because, as you can see, everybody else is taking a

breather. Absolutely. Great attack. Everybody riding hard, took a

breather. She made short work of that. 20 points, moved right up the

board. Perfect for Laura Trott. The riders, another threat for the other

contenders, forcing them to ride defensively rather than offensively.

She's not a factor at the moment, the from New Zealand. That bonus of

20 points has taken her on 298. She is still 11, a long way behind the

podium, but at least she is showing her pace at the front. Perfect

timing. Certainly was. Lap 61. And D'Hoore from Belgium have a go at

the front as well. The Belgian is behind her as well. Gonzales from

Venezuelan, in her mid-30s now, the Pan American games, Gold medallist a

few years ago, trying to hang on and collect more points. And the

teenager from Denmark is going to take three points here, going over

the top of the Belgian. She's collecting the five points. Denmark,

three, Belarus, two, Gonzales, Venezuela, one. She happened to be

coming over on the Sprint lap. Pushed on but didn't have any

company here so she's thinking twice about it. A long way to go on her

own when they are motoring behind so I think she will call it a day

shortly. She has real star quality at the age of 19. A two-time road

race champion is I think we'll hear her name a lot in years to come.

She's having a little look over her shoulder, Dideriksen. Laura Trott in

the gold medal position. The final race of the women's Omnium. Laura

has finished second in each of the last three years of the World

Championships in this championship. She was last world champion in

Melbourne, 2012, head of the London Olympic Games and became the London

Olympic champion as well. An offensive approach to defending

their position in this race so far. Sprinting very successfully.

Expanded her lead. In a good position here now. At various grant

position. She's marking every move the Belgian and Hammer have made and

she won't let them escape so only a surprise move from Edmondson, in

touch, could start to become something of a threat but come at

the moment, it's playing into her hands. The pace has forced them to

slow down as they approach half distance. That will have helped

Wild, On The Last Portion Of The Lap. Leading At The Moment, Ellis.

Edmondson, the defending world champion right behind her. There is

a real lull here. Wild is perfect for her because she is 20 points,

more than 20 points off the podium but if a rider of her calibre, I

don't believe she will settle for anything but a medal here. She can't

do it on points, highly unlikely, so I think we'll see her in the next 50

laps going for another attack. No surprise to see the Belarus rider at

the front again, keeping her eye on everything. A former world champion

in the points race back in 2011. Ling from China, momentarily comes

to the front. Gonzales of Venezuela in third. Hama behind her. The

Canadian behind her. -- Hammer. She came up the inside but Laura Trott

got blocked. Not quite there. Finding their way through now. Here

we are on the Sprint lap. Laura Trott goes around the outside. That

will get the crowd going. Laura Trott, she shows it clean pair of

heels to everyone. Laura Trott grabs five more points, just when the

others thought they were about to begin to eat into her lead a little.

She had the pace over hairline strategically kept her foot on the

pedal. Sarah Hammer frustrated at not being able to make any inroads

towards that gold medal. That title looks to be slipping away here. The

three podium placed riders at the moment. Those three riders are

together on the track at the moment with Hammer at the front. Laura

Trott following her. About halfway back in the field. Edmondson on the

front. D'Hoore up there as well behind the Russian. The Canadian

with, once again, Sharapova going off the front. Looks like she's

trying to spring them out of it now. The only top six can contest the

medals and do outrageous things like take it. Edmondson and D'Hoore, they

could threaten the podium places. The Canadian on 130, I think that is

the barrier. Edmondson the defending world champion goes off the front.

The German closes the gap. They gain some ground now. Dideriksen on her

wheel. Towards the back of the main field of the moment. A real danger

to Sarah Hammer of the United States, an attack like that

succeeding. Edmondson close enough that she could score en route and

overtake them, so they are the ones who have to do the chasing.

Beveridge attacks now and is closed down straightaway by the rider from

Cuba. The laps are ticking away now. 43 laps remaining as they come

around this time. Over half distance, Laura Trott closing on

that world title. Acceleration from the three-time European under 23

champion who has not been able to feature towards the top end of the

leaderboard, but she is looking to finish strongly and on the attack

now, being followed by D'Hoore. And the rider from Japan, in fifth place

at the moment in the line-out. As we go into this Sprint lap, Laura Trott

is following the wheel of the French rider. It's going to be a struggle

between the pair of them. Look at them go around the outside.

Travelling at a different speed to the other riders on the track. Sarah

Hammer lead from over the line. Laura Trott, third. All importantly,

Laura Trott adds another couple of points. At this moment in time, it's

looking very good for her with 40 laps to go. She is on to 198 points.

Hammer, 178, in second. What a battle for the silver medal at the

moment. world champion last year. She had a

nasty accident. BELL 37 laps to go as they cross the

finish line. Only 20 points remaining. Laura Trott doesn't have

too beat anybody. She just has to stop people from taking the lap.

D'Hoore digging in hard. Making it a trio of riders at the front. Angie

Gonzales of Venezuelan at the front of the group behind the main field.

Laura Trott making steps towards a world title. Her first of this

Olympic cycle. Ellis attacking on the inside. From New Zealand. She

gained a lap early in the race. She will have to gain a few if she wants

to get on terms. If she were to gain another lap it would only take her

up to eight. She is still fighting hard. The Cuban has decided to go

after her. Beveridge has gone after her as well. Hamer decides to let

her go. The Canadian will put herself on

terms if she can gain a lap. That will put her in the third to fifth

looping. In with a shot of a medal. Lauren Ellis against the second lap

of the race. Beveridge of Canada trying to do the same thing.

This is ideal for Laura Trott. All of the points being soaked up by the

riders fighting for minor places. Lauren Ellis has done really well to

drag herself up into eight. Dideriksen is ninth. The Cuban ten.

They are marking each other. It is ridiculous. Berthon taking out

Hammer in an attempt to get her out at the front. Berthon has written a

very negative race. They are both on the same points. It would all be on

position in the last dash for the line. 25 laps remaining. Laura Trott

has got a stranglehold on it. She is leaving them to squabble at the

back. They appear to have stopped watching her. What a force this is

if they get really going. Hammer and Berthon are just dawdling along

watching each other. Laura Trott won a scratch race earlier this season

socially already -- so she already has a gold medal. The Russian rider

has started to join in. This is a gift for Laura Trott. Happy to help

out in this breakaway of five. Not putting too much in. The two that

are riding very curiously are Hammer and Berthon who are only now

thinking about getting into the race. They could see themselves in

trouble. Laura Trott wants to do this in style. She is on the wheel

of the Australian and benevolence. She is going to collect three more

points here. Five to Australia and three to Great Britain. Laura

Trott's stranglehold is basically comp leet on this women's omnium. As

long as she stays upright, she is going to win. Sarah Hammer and

Berthon are still locked in behind. Edmundson would need to gain a lap

to get into contention. I think that Hammer and Berthon are going to see

they are neutral and it will be all on the final dash. If they are level

on points, it is who finished first on the final dash for the line. They

have given up on attacking Laura Trott. She was so strong in the

first half of this race that they have realised they can't beat her in

a sprint. They have to concentrate on second and third position. Laura

Trott is not obliged to score a single point. She will take the

world title. Riding on the inside at the front. 17 laps to go.

Edmundson is going to have a go. It has been a dangerous game played by

Berthon at the back. Their podium place is not in the bag,

necessarily. Beveridge and Wild. The Italian leads the chase. That is the

front of the race. Berthon refusing to even go through. She's stuck to

the wheel of Hammer. Banking everything on the final sprint.

Everybody else is getting on with it. I don't think Wild after that

huge effort has fully recovered. She is in this breakaway. It is easing

in behind and she has got herself into a group of three. Not a lot she

can do to contribute. They are all really tired. They are all looking

at Sarah Hammer who is having to do it all alone. Berthon on her wheel

and Laura Trott as well. Laura Trott in that group of three chasing. Only

one point on the line at the moment. Hammer leads that sprint with

Berthon. Meanwhile, Beveridge going for it at the front of the race.

Waiting for confirmation of who got the points for that race to the

line. It may have been the Chinese rider. Sarah Hammer took a very

valuable point. She has a 1-point lead over Berthon. It is almost

neutral. With a single point, it is still down to the final sprint.

Berthon has two score. Hammer is not obliged to score now she has her

nose in front. Laura Trott is on the verge of becoming world champion. It

would be a fourth gold medal for Great Britain. And the second in an

Olympic discipline. Laura Trott can afford to sit on the front and tell

them to the line. Keeping everybody in check. Lauren Ellis has yet

another go at trying to gain a lap. She has gained a couple in this race

so fair play to her. A superb race but not a factor on the podium. Half

a dozen laps to go. Dideriksen chasing after the rider from New

Zealand. The Cuban is getting involved. Meanwhile, Berthon and

Hammer are watching each other at the back. Berthon is the loser here.

Hammer can afford to hang back. She will keep the silver medal. Berthon

should have monitored the race. Points have disappeared. I think she

has raced very negatively and she has paid the price. In a way, she

gets what she deserves for not trying to make things happen. She

hasn't animated the race at all. She is going to come unstuck if she is

not careful. We go into the final three laps. Lauren Ellis is still

accelerating of the banking. The first rider on the track. Berthon on

the inside of the track trying to shake off Hammer. She is going for

the final sprint. It is a grand finale. Berthon is going for the

final sprint. Hammer is on her wheel. Head to head towards the

line. Berthon has conserved enough energy to take the sprint against

the American. Berthon takes the sprint to the line. Laura Trott now

crosses the line as the world champion for the second time in her

career. Second gold of the week. Olympic year and it is all going

swimmingly for Laura Trott. Berthon France does get the silver medal.

The crowd Rice to salute Laura Trott. Gold for Great Britain and

gold for Laura Trott for the second time this week she will be on the

top step of the podium. Crushed the opposition's morale and made them

focus for a place. Beautifully consistent all the way through. A

fascinating final between Berthon and Hammer. I thought Berthon had

blown it. It kept the competition interesting. Laura Trott was so

dominant that the gold medal was not in question for the last 30 or 40

laps. The Olympic champion here four years ago. The world champion four

years ago. She has settled for silver in each of the World

Championships since and now she is on top of the world. Great ride by

her. A little bit shaken by being bested by Sarah Hammer in the

elimination race which is her forte. Came back and battered this final

event. Jason Kenny, meanwhile, tries to focus on what is to come for him.

No doubt, thoroughly delighted with what has happened. It is one

upmanship for them in that household. How many medals have you

got? A very dominant performance in the women's omnium. Berthon staked

it all on the last sprint and she was proved right but I thought she

was playing a very dangerous game. Laura Trott, with three medals from

these championships, she's had a very busy schedule. On top of the

world. Going into Rio with the best possible preparation. Certainly

giving the other is plenty to think about, they knew that she was going

to be strong. Thoroughly dominant, and the points race at the end of

the competition, it certainly does not do her any harm either. So, a

gold medal for Great Britain, on the final afternoon of these

championships, and who knows? Potentially more medals still to

come. Go, Trotty, go. That's what it says

on her flag. She galloped through that, leaving

everyone else in her wake. She's out in front with 201 points, coming

into the final race. She picked up 17 points to extend

her lead. That was a real battle with Hammer, I'm surprised she could

do anything at all after yesterday, but we will hope to have a word with

her almost immediately, how she can even have the energy to celebrate.

The Trott and Kenny household have three gold medals between them.

Here is the double world champion. Huge congratulations, once again

you've had the velodrome on their feet, you were able to enjoy the

last 40 laps of that? Definitely, they said to me before the start

that if I get 20 laps to go with a big enough gap, I can ride around

and follow, that is what I tried to do. I tried to get enough points

early, I'm so happy. It's only taken four years! It sends out a strong

message as far as you are concerned, five months out from Rio? I did this

before London, when it was Melbourne, I never expected to win

but this time I read it wanted to win. I wanted to pull it off. A

wonderful Mother's Day gift, it was lovely to see you with your mum then

at the end, what did she say? She's so happy, I said last night, I was

gutted about the elimination race. I rode stupidly, I should have taken

Sarah to the black line, we saw the time difference in the 500 meter. I

text of them last night to say I was gutted, and I could not do it. To

poll it off, that is so special. It is your second world title, adding

to the bronze in the team pursuit committee could not ask for more, it

is a heavy schedule you've set yourself? I added the scratch race

in as a bonus, I like to do a bunch race before the Omni in itself, it

was a hard-fought race, it was harder than I imagined. But to pull

back the bonds for the girls, I was so happy about that. -- the bonds

medal. To come back from fifth and pull off that right, it was great

for the team, I guess -- to pull that last one off, I'm so happy

Jason gave you a wink before the track, he was a little bit unwell,

but a brilliant performance from him, your households are doing well

at these World Championships? I was so happy for him, you is not won a

world title in so long. I could see he was emotional on the podium, it

is not like him. He could see how much it meant to him. We could not

get lovey-dovey before an elimination race! But you will be

cheering him on in the Keirin race? Yes, he can do the double now as

well! Thank you. That is the joy of a sporting couple, they can go one

challenging each other? Yes, she was in control the whole way through,

she admitted she was questioning whether she made the right move in

the elimination last night, potentially her confidence was down

but she has bounced back. The last 30 or 40 laps she was in control, it

was brilliant. A third gold medal for them in their house, the fourth

for Great Britain. It would put them above Germany in the medals charts,

just those two? We used to get that all the time as well. It is superb,

when you are both on form like that, you know what each other are going

through. As she said earlier in the week, her and Jason work well

together because they understand what is happening and when they're

bad day is bad, and when a good day is good. Sarah, let's look at this

race, she covered the other two so well, her competitors and

challengers. She won a couple of sprints? She was following the right

wheels, using other competitors who were desperate for points. This is

the first sprint, she took it relatively comfortably. Looking a

little frustrated and desperate, but she was coming across the line... I

think Sarah Hammer wrote a desperate race, as did Laurie Berthon, towards

the end. But Laura Trott had the speed to spare. That 500 metres gave

her confidence that she needed, she is so much better than Sarah Hammer.

It is lovely to see that she came across the line with daylight. In

the final stages of the rays, Laura Trott does not have to get involved,

she has the gold medal in the back. -- race. It is a silver medal battle

between Laurie Berthon and Sarah Hammer, I feel sorry for Hammer, not

doing so well yesterday. She tried her best, it became a game of cat

and mouse, there are all these different subplots, Laurie Berthon

said great, new go, I will get the gold medal. Is there anyone else who

was not in the race who could be a contender in Rio? Or is that the

field likely to be in the Olympics? I would say that is the field, but

Australian Edmondson, she had a recent accident, on the road she was

knocked over by a car, she could potentially be a challenger to

Laura. She was a challenger last year. I would say Hammer and the

Australian the biggest threats in Rio for Mora. What will Laura do now

for the next five months? She will go away -- Laura. She used to have

incredibly good time trials, she was not scoring so highly in those bunch

races. She's done a lot of video analysis and looked at the other

competitors and how she can capitalise on their mistakes will

stop she can consolidate and see she has the right approach, the others

seem to focus on having one strong event, like Sarah Hammer in the

individual pursuit. It is lock on the others. She can take confidence

that she is covering six of these omnium events well. Let's reflect on

the men's omnium. Mark Cavendish came in in fifth place, he has to

get a lot of points to make it onto the podium. He gave it his best shot

and wanted to keep the home crowd happy, he won the final sprint. By

this time the race was effectively over? Yes, I think it was a good

performance from him, but he needed to be on the podium to give the

selectors more of a headache. It is going to be a tough choice when it

comes to the limbic selection, do they put him in the omnium with 14

riders? -- Olympic selection. Cavendish, congratulating the

Colombian who won the gold, three of them finished on double points, it

came down to their positions in the final sprint, gold went to Colombia.

Cavendish is in sixth overall. Jill spoke to him and the technical

director Shane Sutton. I wanted to feel that sensation,

that will be the same as the Olympic games, it was a 50, to power points

race. -- 50 kilometres per hour points race. It will be the same

level at the Olympic Games come I wanted to test it. I don't know if I

am going. But, I wanted to see where I go along with the best riders.

Actually, they've all come off a road programme. My theory was to do

that, I had to qualify. I had to go to Hong Kong, Columbia... But

actually... It was good to come off of the road, you have that insurance

there in the final points. Hopefully, I did enough for

selection. I don't know. There was a feeling that perhaps, if you got a

medal, it would help his chances of being in the team to go to Rio. The

team pursuit has to be the focus as well? Yes, that fifth ride will be

part of that ATP, it is a big medal opportunity. Like I said, at the

moment emotions are high -- TP. He wrote great sprints out there, but

at the end of the day, he did not get the result you wanted. But we

aren't discounting him at the moment. The decision is between him,

asked, the coaching team. We will sit down and see where we go.

Mark Cavendish has a final chance to make it up, not in an Olympic event,

he will write later today in the Madison with Sir Bradley Wiggins.

Now, we come to the gold medal ceremony for Laura Trott in the

omnium. Here it is Simon. She's barely had

time to catch her breath before the medals are to be presented here.

Sarah Hammer, an eight time world champion. Finishing with the once

medal. Edged out by a single point, by the

French man Laurie Berthon. -- bronze medal. She was third in Hong Kong

this year in the Omni. Sarah Hammer, when she won the elimination race,

she was in high spirits, and felt she could really challenge, but it

did not happen for her on the second day. Not enough to challenge for the

gold medal, but you can be sure that she will be in Rio, not far away.

Like Laura Trott, she is very consistent. A silver in 2011, a

bronze medal in 2012, gold in 13 and 14, now she has a bronze medal

again. Laurie Berthon has previously won

several national titles in the omnium and the scratch race, this is

her first appearance on the podium in this kind of race.

She banked everything on the final sprint, we thought she was waiting

to far back, she waited for the race to ease, and she got the opportunity

to turn it into a sprint with Sarah Hammer, and she came out on top. She

should be used to it by now. So many gold medals, at an Olympic and world

level. The roar is for Laura Trott. Champion again, her second rainbow

jersey of the week. Seven world title in all. The scratch race gold

medal has been added as well, just a few days later, with this gold in

the omnium. Her fiance, Jason, trying to keep his composure and

concentrate on the Keirin final still to come. Laura Trott is centre

stage at the moment. And in fine foetal ahead

-- and she is in fine form ahead of Rio.

Still the flowers to come, it is the 11th World Championship medal of

Laura's career. And she is only 23. It is extraordinary. She is on her

way to being, dare I say, certainly challenging for our most successful

Olympian ever. She keeps the motivation and the level of

performance going. A very special talent indeed. Now, the national

anthem. GREAT BRITAIN'S

NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS. Laura Trott, really setting the tone

for the rest of the British team this week, and the success has

continued, there could be more to come.

I'm trying to think of the double acts without referring to musicians.

And an deck? Nobody can do an impression because they are

different. -- Ant and Dec. He is more of a dancer. You can be the fat

one? The double act that is Sir Bradley

Wiggins and Mark Cavendish. In one hour's time in the Madison.

Is that potentially... Am I getting too excited if that is a medal

chance? It could be, that it's been a year since they braced together in

that way. Potential is there, Bradley is flying, Mark Cavendish

has a point to prove. It could happen. Coming up, the final of the

gold-medal race, and the bronze. These team-mates are not even

looking at each other. Absolutely, it is still a rivalry, it is still a

gold medal. You come up against your competitors in national

championships. It is a shame to travel across the world and get a

national final, for all intents and purposes, but these girls want the

gold medal as much as the other. It will be a great battle.

We will have a look at the semifinals, they are both very

tactical affairs. The Austrian Anna Meares was the

sufferer at the hands of Junhong Lane.

I don't think Anna rode tactically well. She is normally a master

tactician. It reflects her lack of confidence herself, she does not

have the power she normally has. I don't decrease in her best, I think

she will be back to her best at Rio. -- do not think we have seen. The

Chinese athlete had it In the early stages, they were going

very close to the inside of the track. Once you get up to speed, you

don't want to be touching the flat part of the track because you could

crash. Is it slippery? It is just the angle, it is so flat, if you're

coming in at 75 K pH, it is just the angle. And you can't come inside?

Once the bell has gone, if you enter the sprinter's line, you can't come

out. And the person who is not in it, can't come in. We saw a couple

of heavy crashes last night. I'll ask you about damage to the track.

How about Caroline Ryan? She suffered a broken collarbone. A

classic cycling injury. She is in pretty good spirits. She will want

to be racing before the Olympic games in five months. The track is

smooth but I can see marks on it. If a bike hits it hard it is going to

make ends and rip up the wood? We have seen a couple of horrific

accidents. Yes, you showed me some that we are not going to see here.

We don't want to put people off. If a paddle lifts a board, something

soft and fleshy can slide across it and pick it up. It happened to Jason

qui lead my team-mate. It can go straight through your muscle. Some

of the damage took place. Will they be repairing it overnight and

between races? Yes, it will just need a little bit of filler. I have

never seen a bike flip like I did yesterday. There are no breaks so if

you stop suddenly, you literally somersault over the handlebars. The

idea is to relax and four floppy but that is easier said than done. If

the track splinters, we saw the Dutch rider crash twice. If you are

crashing on top of injuries that you already have, it is just so painful.

Jason Kenny was waiting for his final race and you could see the

scars all over him from old injuries. I have got a few. It is

part of the job. When you are racing day after day and you crash on the

first day the worst-case scenario is falling twice

on the same spot. All your nerve endings are exposed. It is not

pleasant. Apart from that, I don't want to put people off. This track

has a good reputation. There must be some that are notorious for being

horrid to 41. If you fall on and -- and outdoor track, there is no give

and it can be horrible. Wooden tracks might have splinters. There

is an element of danger. It is all part of the game. We have a big name

bronze medal contest here. Anna Meares against Christina Vogel. Over

to the commentators to describe it for you. COMMENTATOR: Varies Anna

Meares who was well beaten in her semifinal in the end. Both of the

semifinals going to the riders from China in the straight rides. It was

a bit of a turnip. -- turn-up. Personally, I would give the nod to

Vogel. I have got so many predictions wrong. So many

surprises, it is hard to tell. 18 world titles between this pair. Anna

Meares hoping for one last hurrah in Rio this summer. She was the great

rival of Britain's Victoria Pendleton. Particularly when they

raced against each other in the London Olympics four years ago.

Victoria Pendleton winning the keirin final. Anna Meares victorious

in the sprint final. A two-time Olympic champion Anna Meares. She

took gold in Athens in 2004. Vogel from Germany on the front. Starting

to pick up the pace with a lap and a half remaining. Anna Meares keeping

the height there which gives her some distance. Mears is going

further so she is going faster. When she swings down onto the line, it

becomes apparent. The door was left open by Vogel and Anna Meares rode

straight through. Vogel will have to go on the outside. She has shown

great speed here and that was more like it from her. I think Anna

Meares was courageous to take the inside line. She got control of the

race. She got Vogel close in with three quarters of a lap to go. The

German just had far superior acceleration. She had the height as

well. Didn't panic. Did most of the overtaking in the back straight. It

was already one as they hit the final bend. Anna Meares will be

looking for more top end speed over the months as we get towards the

Olympic Games in August. She believes there is more to come. She

was set back after that training injury. A good win therefore Vogel.

She is one race away from claiming the bronze medal. Having won the

sprint title over the last couple of years. We are heading for the first

gold medal match up. Whatever happens, we will have our first ever

women's world sprint champion from China. We see them getting ready in

the centre now as we watch these pictures of Anna Meares. Luckily for

us, wearing different helmets. Often they were the same skin suits,

coloured shoes and gloves as well. Zhong has the white helmet on.

Junhong Lin has got the black. We said it was a bit of a surprise that

it was an all Chinese final. But it is not as though they are known as

track sprinters. Junhong Lin won the bronze medal two years ago. They

have been there or thereabouts and on the podium but just not winning

the world title itself. One of them will become the world champion.

Three laps and it is the best of three final. The sprint is very much

where they have shone. Specifically, the women's competitions. It was

only a matter of time before they both make the final. After

disappointment in the team sprint where they were relegated, what a

fantastic way to come back, guaranteeing yourself gold and

silver. The nation is going to get gold and silver but for them it is

all about individuals. The rider at the front is Zhong. Junhong Lin

right behind her. They will know each other so well from constantly

training together. It is one of the things that brings on a squad. When

training partners are gold medal standard every day. Now very slowly

increased pace. It will begin to unfurl shortly as they go into the

last lap. Junhong Lin is gaining a little but there is daylight between

them. Zhong holds an as they go to the line by half a wheel. The first

win goes to Zhong who led from the front. Zhong Tianshi potentially one

ride away from being world champion. Even waited down the back straight

to try and accelerate but it is a short straight and there is not a

lot of room to do anything. She gave herself room. Still not flat stick.

Timing it to arrive a little early. Already needed to be at a higher

speed. I don't think it is going to be an easy ride. Far from home and

hosed. Not much in it between the pair of them. It is Zhong Tianshi

who leads in the race for gold. How much is sprinting about the

individual and how much about the kit? There is no doubt that the kit

makes a difference. Compared that to a steel bike with normal clothing.

There would be a huge difference. But at the top level, thousands of a

second can make a difference. All we are trying to do is optimise

everything. The bikes and Beckett are part of that. If you want to use

the hashtag, you can get in touch with us. The Italian women pulled

out of 18 pursued due to a puncture. Punches can happen at any time. You

cannot change your bike in the back straight. It is a mishap. Sometimes

you get a restart if it happens in the first 500 metres. If you are a

team of three of the four riders have to finish. It is just one of

those things. In the points race, we saw a chap pointing. Pointing

because... The umpire is pointing at the head of the race. You get riders

lapping the field and it can be difficult to point out the head of

the race. It is important because points are available at every

sprint. Lots of people said that they saw Laura Trott cycling back to

her hotel. They'll do come in on bikes, don't they? We like to cycle

back, it is a way to clear your head. A bit of fresh air. Why walk

when you can cycle? Why sit when you can lie down? That the cycling

mantra. Jason Kenny is coming into the big final. The maxi final as

opposed to the mini final. Places one to six. In the line-up, Ed

Dawkins from New Zealand has a W by his name. He received a warning in

the semifinal for a minor infringement. Not enough to be

disqualified but enough if he does it again he will be disqualified. It

is a yellow card. If you make a small mistake and get relegated, he

will kick himself. He has to be 100% clean. It is an event where there is

a lot of barging and bumping. It will be in his mind that he has to

be squeaky clean. You have been incredibly strong in your

predictions. Jason Kenny's chances in the keirin?

My heart says he will win it, my head says leg, he has a history of

losing when it counts. In the Keirin, I beat Levy in 2012 and at

the Olympics. He is so fast and so capable, but I think that Jason has

the magic touch at the moment. If he can have one last big effort, Key

knows this is it, no matter what happens. It is not like the Sprint

where it is best of three, if he gets it right he is a double world

champion and he will be up to this. It has less when you have a gold

medal in the bag and you know it is the last event and a home

crowd? Without a doubt, Matty Glazer tried to come back in the caring,

but he was out in the first round. He has done an incredible job to

keep everything crossed, and brought it home. In the final of the men's

keirin, a they go. That was a short of Kellermann of

the Czech Republic, Sam Webster, 18 sprint gold medallist. -- 18 sprint.

We have Francois Pervis in this race, he won the World Championship

last year and the year before, he has not made it into the final this

time. Here comes the Denny Mike -- the derny bike. Then it is a

free for all. This is a gutsy thing to do for a

World Championship, wearing that jacket. We will keep an eye as they

get underway, Webster leads them. Sam Webster is at the front, the

Commonwealth sprint champion, winning the title in Glasgow a

couple of years ago, 24 years old. Part of a strong New Zealand track

squad. One of the better nations in world track cycling. Across the

board in the men's and women's teams. The men's team sprint squad

are very impressive, second in the line at the moment is the Russian

Shurshin. Francois Pervis has had a disappointing championship so far. A

former world champion, it is hard to know how he can become motivated for

a minor final when he should be fighting it out for gold medals. He

was so dominant the last couple of years, when we went to Cali a couple

of years ago, he wonder Keirin, the sprint and the kilo, and last year

he won the kilo again and the Keirin, he is a six time world

champion but he has not been a factor this time. He has a lot to do

before we get to Rio. Speed is higher than earlier. Max is out, as

you mentioned in this competition, they have four laps to go. Webster

is at the front, Shurshin in second. The man from Azerbaijan in third.

Francois Pervis is at the back in the Navy. He is thinking about

coming around the outside, everyone is spreading out, there is room to

raise, France what purposes at the back, Webster will try to take it

all the way, they have two laps to go. -- France while Purvis. Shurshin

in second, as Kellermann tries to go around the outside and play himself

in the frame. Webster is in the box seat, as Shurshin of Russia tries to

take him on, we'll to wheel, elbow to elbow. Shurshin tries to go the

long way around against the kiwi, he manages but in the last moment he

was put to the line by the rider of Azerbaijan. Perfect timing from him.

He takes it on the line, as you can see, by less than half a wheel.

Webster did as a substitute derny. France while Purvis never got on in

those terms, he did not participate. -- Pervis. As early as the first

round, in his initial right committee sat on the back straight

and did not contest. -- on the initial straight, he sat at the

back. Webster, you could not hold first place, it seemed that Shurshin

would get it, but what a burst of pace and a launch from the rider of

Azerbaijan, he made an impact at the start of the race on and off the

track. Making an impression in the final. That is the man of the match

in the sequin jacket. I gather that is not exactly team issue. It is the

first track centre, it could catch on! I will ask him where he bought

it from. Omelchenko takes it. The first two over the line.

Onto the final, Jason Kenny, can he make it two gold medals in these

championships? Can he back up that incredible sprint final win against

Matty Glazer, does he have one big race left on his legs today, it is a

tough one. Eilers is the world kilometre champion. Maximillian

Levy, and Wakimoto of Japan. Eddie Dawkins of New Zealand. What a

field, and eight laps lay in store here. Awang and Dawkins are good at

ducking and diving in this fast paced event, ducking and diving.

Levy is the one with power, can he deliver for the first time when it

really matters? Kenny has looked fantastic to me throughout the

competition. He has ridden strategically, we have not seen him

go full tilt, but now is the time to do it. He has two crossed the line

first, that is for sure. Here comes the derny, and the World

Championship final for 2016 is underway, six riders going for gold.

Jason Kenny is in the middle of the field at the moment. Levy is in

fourth place for Germany. Wakimoto of Japan is there.

Six kilometres before we know who is the world Keirin champion.

Dawkins, Jason Kenny, that is levy in the Black socks. Eilers, the

world kilometre champion has green socks. They are different physical

shapes, Levy on the wheel of Jason Kenny, in the middle of the group.

As the laps takeaway and the speed rises, just waiting for a flurry of

activity with half a lap to go before the derny pulls away as they

josh for a position. Jason Kenny was the world champion in 2013. A silver

medallist, Awang, in 2010, the bronze medal last year. Can the

rider from Malaysia do better this time around? He is on the wheel of

the derny bike, four laps to go halfway. One more lap before the

derny pulls off, and already Dawkins is leaving space. Looking through

his legs, looking behind at Kenny, Kenny is looking back to see what

Levy is doing, Levy is glued to his wheel.

They could try to box Kenny. Kenny does not have much room, 2.5 laps to

go, Awang in front, Dawkins in black in second.

Eilers and Kenny tries to force what motor out of the way. Going around

the outside, Jason Kenny is in second place...

Can he go round the outside of Dawkins?

Up towards the line... One lap left, Jason Kenny, forced out of it.

Eilers staying at the front, Dawkins in second place, Awang tries to come

through on the inside, so close on the line.

I think Eilers is a double world champion. Eilers just on the line.

What a close finish. Jason Kenny involved and told one lap left, but

look as Eilers crosses the line, Dawkins almost takes him but not

quite. Awang, just as one year ago, ends with the bronze medal. What a

fantastic race, unfortunately for Jason Kenny, he was boxed right at

the start of the sprint, you could not find his way out. It was too far

to come around the outside and he knew it. That strength and staying

power of Eilers was key. He was able to start sprinting really quickly,

he is able to stay with it. Bert Eilers for the second time of the

week is a world champion. -- but Eilers.

Congratulations to Germany, a race too far for Jason Kenny? Yes, he did

not quite have the gas. To be fair to Eilers, it was a controlled ride

from the front. It takes a lot to have the strength to keep going for

2.5 laps, he strung them out. There was an opportunity. Jason was going

backwards, Awang was on the inside, Jason had given up, you knew that

nothing was going to go in his favour. But I think he ran out of

gas. Awang on the inside, it is a big day for Malaysia. For Awang to

win a medal, it is his bird. It is exceptional. It was tight on the

line, Dawkins came back strongly. It was a classic final. Given what you

were saying about how steep it is on the inside on the light blue, it was

incredible control from Eilers? You had to have extreme bike handling

skills to win, it is not just strength and power. But he showed he

had it in the kilo. This is a big moment for him, he's coming through

the ranks, the German squad is very strong, Leavy has been the daddy of

the Keirin. Dawkins is flinging his bike at the line, 2000 's of a

second. -- Levy. I thought there would be a crash. There was an

argy-bargy between him and Dawkins. It is a shame for Jason, the toll it

takes on your body, it is not just about being fit, recovery is not a

problem, it is the damaged done, repeated sprint efforts, emotionally

he would have been drained last night. Trying to sleep after a major

championship win is not easy. I think he will look back on this

week, he has to be happy. There has to come a point when the body just

says, no. Why cannot do it any more. Exactly. -- I cannot do it. There

comes to a point, I would do three events and it would be the last day,

you can barely get out of bed, your legs are that stuff. It is the home

crowd, and the occasion, it can drag you through it. But it was one race

too far for Jason. He went for it, one lap out, had he been able to

keep it up, you would have been in the shake-out -- he would have been

in the shake-up. Eilers was driving, if he was in front fractionally,

Jason could have been on the black line in control. Dawkins, Awang on

the inside, then Jason had waved a white flag. It was so strong. It is

hard to explain how tough it is to hold out for 2.5 laps like Eilers

did, that was a cracking time. You had to stay in your shape so much,

Sarah, as you get tired it is going to go a bit as well? You can see the

form of the riders, everyone has their own style. The form of the

German rider, it reminds me of how you used to ride, it had very strong

kilo rider, he holds everyone. Absolutely superb performance from

him. We are getting a lot of questions from people watching

cycling, some for the first time. Tim Norris wants to know, even

though Chris was a sprinter, did he or does he still go for long

leisurely bike rides, or was it all short burst work? When I was

training as an athlete, we would have won- two hours of flat rides,

easy gears, spilling the legs, and active recovery. But three or four

blocks of the year, we do a week of aerobic conditioning, in Majorca, in

the hills. For the big guys, the sprinters, they can do well in the

hills, bearing in mind we are not designed for endurance. But now, I

love it. The riders love these bikes. On the

track, Kristina Vogel 's on the second leg at Hasbro.

Taking it convincingly? Yes, we felt coming into the

championship that Vogel was the rider to beat, she was the

favourite, and probably, the likely winner. It has not proven to be so,

we certainly saw her coming back to the kind of form that we were

expecting to see in the first ride against Anna Meares. She has her

hands for here in trying to stay alive in this bronze medal match. It

would have hit her morale hard. She was a convincing winner. Even

She made her way around to bankings but it wasn't enough. Kristina

Vogel, the world sprint champion for the past two years. Part of a

fantastic team sprint duo. We are watching with half a night on the

future. Right now it is the World Championships. Kristina Vogel is

going to ride from the front. She has decided that she wants to be

quite assertive. Anna Meares buzzing around. Kristina Vogel looking to

make sure that the bronze medal as hers. Fighting all the way. In the

end, well beaten. Kristina Vogel didn't get the colour she was

looking for. She will be on the podium. A very worthy winner of the

Bronze medal match. It will be interesting to see. We know that

Fogel will be up there when the Olympics come around. It will be

interesting to see whether Anna Meares can continue to improve and

step up after the problems that she has had with injury. She has come

back here and acquitted herself well. Not on the podium, her normal

position but coming fast. A few months from now she will be on

another level again. Now, a real threat. She will head back to

Australia with a silver medal from the women's keirin final. It is the

sprint crown that has gone for the German. Now we wait for what could

be the decisive match up in the all Chinese final. Kristina Vogel enjoys

her lap of honour. Victory in straight rides for her. The two

riders from China just about to come up onto the track. Vogel could

disappear back into the track centre shortly. Junhong Lin has it all to

do. In the back home it at the bottom of the track. Zhong Tianshi

led all the way in that first heat. It was still close. Not anywhere

near as clear-cut as the previous match where there was a big physical

difference between the two. We are, a lot more finesse involved. Last

chance for the rider with the Black album it. Junhong Lin. Zhong Tianshi

already has a silver and bronze in the sprint in last couple of years.

Can she come on the set in the next few minutes? Or will it go to a

decider as the men's final did. Standard steady start. It is filmed

by our cameraman on a Segway, steering with his knees while he

carries the camera. Worthy of mention for the level of skill. How

grateful he will be that they are going particularly slowly on this

lap. Sometimes, they are racing to keep up, even on the opening lap. It

helps to keep alongside the athletes. In the white helmet is

Zhong Tianshi. She is leading 1-0. If she wins this race, the title is

hers. They are obliged for the first half lap to proceed at walking pace.

I have never seen written down who's walking pace it is. Certainly going

at comfortable Segway pace. They slowly head towards the finishing

straight. Three quarters of the way through the first lap of three.

These two riders know each other strengths and weaknesses so well.

They must ride together all the time. It is the fraction of a second

reaction time. It is who deploys them quickly enough that makes all

the difference here. There is an element of luck. It is going to be a

steady one. Only a lap and a half remaining. The speed at last starts

to pick up. They really were creeping around the track. Zhong

Tianshi gained the height and forced the speed to increase. Junhong Lin

takes it from the front. She has to win this race. Already, she has lost

ground to Zhong Tianshi who is going to win the world title here. China's

first-ever women's sprint world champion. What a decisive, clear-cut

victory it was. In straight rides, in style, gold to Zhong Tianshi. A

muted celebration in the centre. They will be deeply pleased. Junhong

Lin made a mistake with a lap to go. She got into the right position but

can it early enough and allowed herself to be swamped on the back

straight. It was all over. That acceleration inside the last three

quarters of a lap. Zhong Tianshi totally committed. That is the

advantage of being at the back. You get to choose when you accelerate

and your competitor might not see it coming. As decisive a victory as you

will ever see in a World Championship match. Another rider to

keep an eye on in the summer. It is not all about Anna Meares and

Kristina Vogel. The world champion going into the Olympics is Zhong

Tianshi from China. They will take confidence from that. At last, they

have got the reward year and it will give them confidence running into

the Olympics. She will be happier than she was the other day when she

ended up with a silver medal in the team sprint. Disqualified and ended

up losing to Russia. At the end of the championship, the sprint squad

are all smiles. Gold and silver in the bag in the women's sprint.

Everybody has a flag this year. Have you noticed? Apart from the

organisers who have put the flags on the scoreboards rather than have

actual flags. Maybe they have stolen the flags. A good reception from the

London crowd. In the end, no strong British interest in the women's

sprint. We were spoiled for so many years with Victoria Pendleton. And

Becky James who followed in her tracks winning the title in Minsk

but she has had a couple of years out with injury and is only just

beginning to come back now. We will see Becky James competing in this

event in the summer. I have every confidence that she will continue to

progress in leaps and bounds. You see the coach giving them a hug

there. Well done to them. His hand is in plaster after he smashed it on

his table after being disqualified. He broke bones in his hand. A former

French sprinter who is now coaching the Chinese. The frustration when

the athletes don't do what they are supposed to. At least, he is smiling

now. Is the Chinese team stronger in the women than the men? Yes. They

made a big push for Beijing in the team sprint for the men but they

have never really hit the heights. They have one or two guys in the top

15 or 20. Let's have another look at that final. It seemed as if what

ever Junhong Lin did, Zhong Tianshi had her covered. She knew she had

the legs on her. She came passed quite easily in the back straight

and had nothing to respond with. There was daylight between them at

the finish. Their kit would be identical. There is not much

difference between the teams in the kit. And it can work differently

with different riders and their shapes. It is not like Formula 1.

The equipment is important and it is not the be all and end all. There

are 200 checks going on with the bikes. There was a junior riders

Mike found at the junior world cyclo-cross riders which had an

electric motor hidden inside it. They still haven't got to the bottom

of who did it. You can't do it by yourself. The extent to which Linux

is involved. I spoke to Chris Boardman about it. He doesn't think

it is widespread. If it wasn't serious, it would be hilarious. It

seems crazy. What satisfaction would you get from winning a race with an

engine? It is referred to as mechanical doping. It could carry a

lifetime ban. It is very calculator. It is using something that you know

that your comp editors don't have. It will give you more wattage. There

is a famous clip of a female cyclist who had this. A Belgian rider

through past of one of the best riders in the world on a climb. Then

people started to ask questions. It was found that the World

Championships a few weeks ago. It is really sad because it is not

something you want to have to think about. Simon Brotherton has been

really careful not to say, " switches on the turbo" or" using

their engine". It is the athletes and not the bikes that win most of

the time. Here is Simon to take us through the medals. COMMENTATOR: It

was a little bit like watching Chris in the keirin final. Just powering

to the front. Saying, if you are going to win this race, you have to

get past me. Nine times out of ten they didn't when Chris was riding.

Same here. Really fast and with the stamina that comes from a kilo

background. The advantage of being at the front, you are expending more

power but you get to do it at your own pace. If you can do it, that's

why you can perform consistently. The second time Ed Dawkins has got

really close in the men's keirin final. Stuck with silver again. Two

thousandths of a second. This appears to be the standard gap at

this World Championships. The same gap as in the first ride in the

final of the men's sprint. For the second time this week the German

here is his name called out as world champion. He has backed up his win

in the kilometre time trial with a win in the keirin as well. The

jersey presented by Brian Cookson. Just about managing to do the zip

up, despite the neck muscles. It was a classic keirin final. The rider

from Malaysia on the podium for the second time. Awang has a silver and

two bronze medals. He brings flamboyance to the event. Leave the

slightest gap and he is in it. As Chris said, you expect something to

explode when he is around. He is just constantly even that their

speed looking for opportunities. If he can't find one, he makes one. And

the national anthem of Germany. His second gold of the week, Germany

now have three, but they have the same number of medals as Great

Britain, a total of eight, Britain tops the medal table by one having

got four golds to Germany's three. Eilers, Dawkins and Awang are your

podium. STUDIO: Can I ask about the rainbow

jersey? How come it is a thing in cycling, what is its background? It

is as iconic as the yellow jersey in the Tour de France, you are a world

champion, once you've done that, you have the bands, you can put them on

the arms of your race kit. Is that only in the races that you have one?

Yes, in the events that you are the world champion in. They have

regulations and subsequently, in recent years, it is recognised that

when you have the pride and honour of wearing the rainbow jersey for

the next 12 months and to defend that, hopefully in one year's time,

I could be wrong but if you imagine those bands as five individual

rings, it is supposed to reflect the five continents, like Olympic rings,

but made into bands around your chest and arms. What have you done

with your jerseys? The last one I gave to my mum and dad with the

medal, it's framed in their home, the rest are in my drawers, it

sounds a bit rubbish! You wear them. When? When you are training. Some

riders don't like to wear those jerseys when they are the world

champion because they feel like there is the pressure of being world

champion with the jersey on, and but I love that feeling. It is your

chance to wear the jersey through history, look at the fees before you

who have won it, it is the same as what I wore all those years ago. It

is part of your history, you've made your mark on the sport. It is the

five colours of the continents, black is not in the rainbow!

Absolutely. It is amazing to have the jersey, I've worn mine every

single day for training. Do you? Absolutely, I wore mine this

morning, my rainbow shorts. You get the shorts as well? Depending on the

team, my team, and part owner in it, we made shorts for me having a

rainbow jersey for the time trials on the road. When I am on the road,

I wear the rainbow bounds. -- rainbow bands. Do you have rainbow

pyjamas crushed and Mark I will get a one C. Jason Kenny is going home

with a jersey -- onesie. He spoke to Jill Douglas. You could not make it

a two, what happened? You know, I did not have the legs to take it on

against all of those fresh guys. I was gambling and trying to get a

wheel. I thought I had the winning one, in Eilers, but then I could not

get down to the bottom line. I was hung out to dry. You were on the hip

of Dawkins at one point, you did not have that firepower. You had a long

day yesterday, I know how broken you were after taking that gold medal.

It is a big hip to be on, Dawkins. I ran out of legs quick. I expected

that, that is why I was trying to get through the race as efficiently

as possible. I was pleased when I got to the final. I got there quite

efficiently. I tried to write the final as efficiently as possible

while still trying to win. -- ride the final. I could not get down to

the Black line. I was hung out to dry. Looking at your World

Championships, to win the sprint, and getting into the Keirin final,

it is a positive way? Getting those results before the weekend, I would

have taken them, without question. But for me, and for the whole of the

sprinter lads, we are fast enough to be competitive, we can take it to

these guys and win titles. It is a positive with five months to go

until the one we really want to win. So positive. Looking at the rest of

the world, the New Zealanders are always strong. The Germans look

strong, the French haven't been at the races this week, have they?

There have been a few signs, they have not, the thing is, you can

never write them off. They have a lot of depth and strength in

numbers. By the Olympics, I'm sure they will be back on top form. Thank

you for everything this week, well done.

Thank you. Jason Kenny will go home satisfied with his work this week?

More than satisfied, he will be delighted. Not only does he have a

rainbow jersey but he has the confidence of knowing he has the

pace to mix with the top guys in the world. There's more to come. The

team sprint, I think that was seen as a failure but in many ways, I

think it was a success. They have the fastest man in the world in the

first lap, Jason is the fastest man in the world in the second lap when

he is right. Callum skimmer Michael Cole Skinner or Lewis Oliver, he

will be the next two finish it off. -- Karen Skinner or

. The tennis is over running on BBC

One, eight crucial point in the Davis Cup match between Great

Britain and Japan. At 4:30pm, we will hand over to Sue Barker here on

the tennis, the cycling will switch to the red button. We are already

there, if you want to carry on with the cycling, you won't miss anything

at all. There is a delay.

You can go now. It gives us the chance to answer your questions,

this is about the derny bike, you can see in the Keirin, the driver is

on the bike, he has a black helmet, it looks like, call work, how do you

get that job and why does he never smile?

It is a very serious job. You have to take it incrementally and make

sure you deliver the riders take regulations beat. It's an important

job but I have no idea how he gets that job. I've no idea, I think

historically, each velodrome has a group of Denny riders who are

experienced. I think it comes -- derny.

It is down to who get the job -- who gets the job and sticks with it. A

lot of cheering for this iconic pairing of Bradley Wiggins and Mark

Cavendish, teaming up together in the Madison. 200 laps in this, 16
