Team GB’s sprinters took a hard-fought silver medal in the Olympic Velodrome, but were unable to prevent Harrie Lavreysen leading the Netherlands to the men’s team sprint title, with a world-record time.
In a one-sided final, Great Britain’s sprint trio of Jack Carlin, Hamish Turnbull and Ed Lowe, were valiant but powerless, as Lavreysen and teammates, Jeffrey Hoogland and Roy van den Berg led almost from the first bend.
