Elinor Barker rode to victory in the team pursuit,

:00:20.:00:21.

following on from the gold achieved by fellow Cardiff

:00:22.:00:24.

Meanwhile, Abergavenny's Becky James took silver in the keerin.

:00:25.:00:28.

The Welsh medal tally has now reached seven,

From Rio, here's Rhodri Lewellyn reports.

:00:32.:00:36.

Another day, another Olympic gold medal for a Welsh cyclist.

:00:37.:00:39.

In the team pursuit Elinor Barker from Cardiff sped to

:00:40.:00:49.

victory setting another world record emulating family friend Owain Doull

:00:50.:00:52.

in the men's team less than 24 hours earlier.

:00:53.:00:57.

All that was going through my head in the last lap is I'm going to

:00:58.:01:01.

Then I crossed the line and looked up and saw

:01:02.:01:07.

the Americans in front of

:01:08.:01:08.

us and I thought, we've won, it's actually happened.

I wonder if Elinor Barker's life will

:01:13.:01:15.

I hope really that she keeps her feet on the ground.

:01:16.:01:21.

That's been really important for us as a family.

:01:22.:01:23.

And we'll work hard to make sure she does keep her feet on

:01:24.:01:26.

the ground so any time she comes home she will be washing the dishes!

:01:27.:01:30.

And there was further velodrome success with Abergavenny's Becky

:01:31.:01:32.

James snatching silver with a late surge in the keerin.

:01:33.:01:35.

She missed the London Games and then spent the best part of two

:01:36.:01:40.

years out with injury and a cancer scare.

:01:41.:01:44.

Maybe a little bit too late but I don't know where that speed

:01:45.:01:49.

I think I wanted it so much once I got through that first round today.

:01:50.:01:54.

I just wanted to come away with a medal.

:01:55.:01:56.

Boyfriend, the Wales rugby winger George North,

:01:57.:02:00.

I got a bit nervous in the semifinal.

:02:01.:02:06.

:02:20.:02:25.

Setting a new Olympic record along the way.

:02:26.:02:30.

Having already equaled the seven medals won in England, the Welsh

:02:31.:02:34.

athletes look set to break some records in Rio.

:02:35.:02:42.

A second body washed ashore in Gwynedd has

:02:43.:02:44.

been identified as 15- year-old Waseem Al-Muflehi.

:02:45.:02:47.

Wasseem and 14-year-old Yahye Mohamed,

:02:48.:02:49.

both from Birmingham, disappeared in the water off

:02:50.:02:51.

Yahear's body was found on Friday morning.

:02:52.:02:56.

:03:00.:03:03.

near Llansantffraid-ym Mechan on Friday after a

:03:04.:03:05.
