CYCLING – TRACK: Two gold are on offer on day three in the velodrome with the finals of the women’s team pursuit and the women’s keirin headlining the session, with the men’s sprint competition continuing with the quarter and semi-finals.

The women’s keirin final is set to bring the fans to their feet, with three-time keirin world champion Anna Meares and Stephanie Morton to line up against each other after teaming on day two to finish just two-tenths of a second off the podium in fourth.

Matthew Glaetzer and Patrick Constable continue in the men’s sprint, with Glaetzer to face Maximilian Levy (GER) with Constable lining up against Skinner for the quarter finals.
