The Latest: Keirin delayed after crash

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The Latest on the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro (all times local):

10:30 a.m.

A spectacular crash in the second heat of the women's keirin caused a delay in the morning track cycling program so that officials could repair a gouge in the wooden surface of the Olympic velodrome.

The crash occurred on the final lap of the sprinting event when French rider Virginie Cueff used her shoulder to push Dutch rider Laurine van Riessen onto the outer wall and nearly into the stands.

That caused New Zealand's Olivia Podmore and Tania Calvo Barbero of Spain to crash behind them.
