Laura Trott extends omnium lead with one event to go, as Kenny qualifies for keirin final

Laura Trott enters the final event of the omnium in as good a position as she could hope to be, after extending her lead in the penultimate event, the flying lap.

Only the points race remains in the women's omnium, and defending champion Trott heads into the race with a tally of 196 points to second place Jolien D'Hoore's 172.

D'Hoore lost further ground with a seventh place finish in the flying lap, but remains in second place on the same points as the USA's Sarah Hammer, who sits in third place.

The women's points race is scheduled for 21-05 UK time.

James qualifies as Marchant drops out

Becky James continued her remarkable form as she beat Elis Ligtlee (Ned) 2-0 in the women's sprint to reach the gold medal final. The Welshwoman rode away easily from Ligtlee, who couldn't match her pace in either of the two sprint races.

James won't be joined by fellow Brit Katy Marchant however, after she lost 2-0 to Germany's Kristina Vogel. Marchant will now ride in the bronze medal races against Ligtlee.

The first of the women's sprint finals is scheduled for 21-44 UK time.
