The Dutch went Dutch on Tuesday night at the vélodrome with two world records in the Olympic men’s cycling team sprint. They shared the exploit with themselves though in their surge to retaining the gold medal after two spectacular sessions of controlled power cycling.
Ray van den Berg, Harrie Lavreysen and Jeffrey Hoogland shaved fractions off their February 2020 high of 41.225 seconds to pulverize Canada in 41.191 seconds in heat four of the qualifying round to advance as the fastest team to the gold medal race.
