Olympic Cycling 2016: Men's Track Team Sprint Medal Winners, Results and Times

Great Britain won the men's cycling track team sprint gold medal at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro as they shocked New Zealand at the Olympic Velodrome on Thursday.

Philip Hindes produced a blistering opening lap for Team GB before Jason Kenny flew around on the second lap, leaving Callum Skinner with the opportunity to lead the Brits home despite being underdogs for the top spot.

France claimed the bronze medal after defeating Australia on the line in a close finish in the race for the third spot on the rostrum.

The win gave Kenny his fourth Olympic gold medal of his career as the Brits posted a new Olympic record of 42.
