'JUST A NIGHTMARE!' - Laura Kenny is typically candid in assessing her Omnium experience at these Games.

Speaking to Bradley Wiggins on Eurosport, the five-time gold medallist said:

Just a nightmare. Honestly when I went down I thought, ‘that is it, there is not a chance I am getting this back’. You just can’t make it up. I just thought coming into this I’ve had my bad luck, surely. And then low and behold I get taken down, again.

TRACK CYCLING CONCLUDES. Laura Kenny couldn't quite sign it all off in fairytale fashion but Jason's gold to make him GB's most decorated Olympian of all-time was still a special way for our cycling team to say 'Sayounara' to Tokyo 2020 and the Izu Velodrome.

FINAL SPRINT. Kenny ends with a flourish but it won't be enough. She relinquishes her title with a sixth place finish overall. The Brit is 12 points off the bronze position which goes to Holland's Kirsten Wild.

USA's Jennifer Valente is the Olympic champion with Japan's Yumi Kajihara earns silver.

PENULTIMATE SPRINT. Wild takes the line first and is up into the bronze medal position.

Japan's Kajihara, who is second, is knocked down by Wild but manages to get back on her bike to continue. Almost a disaster there.

Kenny is still seventh and out of contention.
