it had looked as though katie archibald, elinor barker, josie knight and laura kenny were going to beat the record set by germany earlier on. they were half a second faster faster. but it just fell apart at the end for britain. they held out to finish second in qualifying. they will race against the usa in the first round. and the british men qualified fourth fastest in their team pursuit. it means ed clancy, ethan hayter, ethan vernon and ollie wood will face the fastest team in the first round — denmark. the winners of that will then progress to the final. on the track, history has been made with jasmine camacho-quinn winning puerto rico�*s first ever track and field gold in the women�*s 100m hurdles final. meanwhile, team gb�*s laura muir is aiming for her first olympic medal, sailing through her 1500 metre heat, as ben croucher reports. this stage of the 1500 metres for laura muir isn�*t about the cheers or the acclaim. it�*s not even about winning. having chosen to skip the 800 to focus solely on this, the morning run was just about making it through, which she did. yea

the british team of kenny, katie archibald, neah evans and josie knight were the favourites but they were outclassed by a really strong germany team, who took almost two seconds off their previous world record time in an emphatic victory. so silverfor team gb, but kenny has the chance of gold in the omnium or madison later in the week. i think that the government by surprise. just in the qualifier, —— i think they took everyone by surprise. and i knew we were going to go for an fast but maybe not that fast stop i paid an opportunity for tumour metals? yeah, this keeps showing up see what happens. —— two more metals. so two silver medals for team gb — and team kenny — in the velodrome today. earlier i spoke to the former olympic champion, sir chris hoy, and asked him whether there'd be disappointment in the team that they'd ended up with silvers rather than golds. i think there is mixed emotions today. the sprint with the dutch team was the hot favourite for that event but laura kenny and their team—mates, they're hoping for the gold medal. they were the favourites. of t

katie archibald, elinor barker, josie knight and laura kenny make up the quartet. they fell apart at the end for britain and will race against the usa in the first round. lots of action on day ten of the olympics, history has been made in the athletics, with jasmine camacho-quinn winning puerto rico's first ever track and field gold in the women's 100m hurdles final. meanwhile, team gb�*s laura muir is aiming for her first olympic medal, sailing through her 1500 metre heat as ben croucher reports. this stage of the 1500 metres for laure muir isn't about the cheers or the acclaim... it's not even about winning. having chosen to skip the 800 to focus solely on this, the morning run was just about making it through, which she did. yeah, so excited to get started. all my flatmates have raced already so i was itching to get going. so, yeah, it's really nice to get that first run out of the way and feel comfortable. which is more than can be said for one of the favourites. sifan hassan found that staying out of trouble near the back didn't go to plan. 30 metres behind with less than a la

laura kenny began her quest for another gold alongside katie archibald, elinor barker and josie knight. with the help of a radical new bike design they came second in qualifying for the pursuit. room for improvement but a solid first ride. a lot more solid than one australian cyclist�*s bike, alex porter's handlebars disintegrating mid—race. thankfully no major harm done. meanwhile one of britain's biggest hopes on the track got her olympics under way. laura muir going in the 1500 metres, it was the smoothest of starts. second in her heat to ease into the semifinal. so excited to get started. i was itching to get going, and it's really nice to get the first round out the way. feeling comfortable. there was drama in another heat, the world champion ready to make her move on the final lap when she tripped over another athlete. no way back, surely. but instead she picked herself up, chased down her rivals, sprinted past them and ultimately won her heat. that suggests she may take some beating. in the final of the women's hurdles in little bit of olympic history. powering away to the g

that is katie archibald giving waves at the top of the stair, some in the team gb flag. just stopping at the top there, isis expect there for something of a team photo as well. a and here they come. starting to come down the steps, you can just starting to come down the steps, you canjust imagine starting to come down the steps, you can just imagine what sort of welcome they are going to have in the arrivals hall, can�*t you? it will be interesting to see how much of their family have actually made to it the airport, and of course everybody being very cautious because of covid—19. but here they come. let us have a listen in. cheering and applause beautiful team photo on the steps there of their plane. gb we have the golden couple there, the conditione, some the stories we have been hearing have been inspiring. i mean i do believe that was lauren price i just say there, her story for example brought up by her grandmother and she paid that tribute to her grandmother, yesterday when she won gold, looking up yesterday when she won gold, looking up to the heaven, a victor
