Sir Bradley Wiggins is Great Britain's most decorated Olympian ever, as his team raced to the gold medal in world-record time in a thrilling men’s team pursuit final Friday.
In the battle with Australia in Rio de Janeiro, the quartet of Wiggins, Ed Clancy, Owain Doull and Steven Burke paced their run perfectly, winning by a narrow margin of 0.74 seconds. The former Tour de France winner has now won eight Olympic medals in total, five of them gold.
In the bronze-medal showdown, Denmark comfortably got the better of New Zealand.
Earlier, China’s Gong Jinjie and Zhong Tianshi won the women’s team sprint over Russia’s Anastasiia Voinova and Daria Shmeleva, while Germany won the bronze-medal battle against Australia.
