That Kenny performance was amazing. Inspired tactical move. Completely shafted the Aussie guy who was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

I immediately think less of any winner who does that hackneyed “biting the medal” thing for press photographs.

It was a kind of sped-up version of what his wife helped do in the Madison - start strong, then inexplicably keep it going for the whole race. Incredible stuff from team GB in the cycling despite a pretty slow start medal-wise. :D

Everyone had written Kenny off including him self. Brilliant.

He should be disqualified for this.

British sprinter Chijindu Ujah has been suspended from competition after testing positive for a banned substance.

Ujah, 27, was part of Team GB men's 4x100m relay team which won silver at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics earlier this month.

He holds world and European running titles. Absurd use of the term 'below-middling'.
