To be fair to Laura Kenny, the GB women's spirit team set a new world record in the first round of qualification. A great start for them.

NZ in second place with just China to go.

China in 5th. So GB first with a world record and NZ in 2nd.

Men's Team pursuit qualification. GB first, NZ currently in third behind France.

Hugs all round for Finn Butcher...and a pair of jandals

NZ women's spirit team break the world record then GB break it again. They will race off for Gold and Silver.

Dame Laura Kenny's lovely but why on earth the BBC are showing her and Claire Balding having a chat on a sofa ahead of live Olympic Track Cycling I'll never know.

Germany Vs Netherlands in the 3rd/4th play off of the women's team spirit. GB and NZ are in the Gold\Silver race.

[sparky]

The Germans win the Bronze.

[Billy Tell]

Silver. Not bad at all.

[sparky]

GB get the Gold. NZ the Silver.

@Billy-Tell They seem happy - great rides to break the WR 4 times in the event.

[MiketheSnow]

3 rounds, 3 WR

Impressive

I had noticed Ireland doing well. Popping up on gymnastics and rowing I have watched.

Duplantis. Most dominant athlete at these games that I’ve seen.

Nice to see a Brit take out the 800 m
