For the third consecutive Olympic Games Team GB topped the medal table for track cycling.
Every rider who competed on the track left the Games with a medal, with the squad’s haul including six golds, four silvers and two bronze over the six night’s inside the Olympic velodrome.
Ed Clancy and Owain Doull are racing back on the track in the UK at Revolution in Manchester on 17th September. Tickets are available now: www.cyclingrevolution.com
But away from the boards what was life like for the British squad living in Rio?

Cycling Weekly spoke to half of the gold medal winning men’s team pursuit quartet Ed Clancy and Owain Doull to find out.
