Kenny & Skinner guarantee GB gold -
- (August 14 2016)
Great Britain are guaranteed a fourth gold medal in the Olympic Velodrome on Sunday after Jason Kenny and Callum Skinner advanced to the final of the men's sprint.
Britain won a third gold on the track in the women's team pursuit and Becky James added a silver in the Keirin on Saturday.
And Kenny and Skinner, who won team sprint gold on Thursday, advanced to an all-British final.
Kenny, the London 2012 champion, needed all three bouts to beat Denis Dmitriev of Russia in his semi-final, while Skinner beat Australia's Matthew Glaetzer to advance.
Kenny won the selection nod ahead of Sir Chris Hoy four years ago when the competition was limited to one rider per nation and claimed gold.
Now the Beijing silver medallist behind Hoy is targeting his fifth Olympic gold ahead of team-mate Skinner.
