Jason Kenny has won a seventh Olympic gold medal, storming ahead to claim the win in the men’s keirin at Tokyo 2020. The legendary cyclist from Great Britain was in a league of his own in the final, moving early to win the race by 0.763 seconds. Kenny, whose wife Laura has also tasted gold at Tokyo 2020 to add to her four golds from previous Games, won his first-ever gold medal at Beijing 2008 with a victory in the team sprint. He has gone on to amass a further six more golds in a spectacular Olympic career.
Malaysia’s Mohd Azizulhasni Awang – bronze medallist in Rio – took an impressive silver, with Harrie Lavreysen of the Netherlands winning bronze.
However, the victory belonged to Kenny, who became the first Briton to win seven Olympic golds in any sport with a special victory at the Izu Velodrome.
