Great Britain's Matthew Richardson lays claim to being the fastest track cyclist of all time, after he broke the world record in the flying 200m on Thursday.
The 26-year-old became the first person in history to clock under nine seconds in the event. His time of 8.941 seconds was just over a tenth of a second quicker than the previous benchmark – 9.088 seconds, set by Dutchman Harrie Lavreysen at last year's Paris Olympics.
