Emma Finucane added keirin bronze to the women’s team sprint gold she won on Monday as the medals kept coming for Team GB in the velodrome.

The men's sprint quarter-final also took place on Thursday evening with Jack Carlin and Hamish Turnbull both representing Team GB and gaining spots in Friday's final.
Taekwondo
Jade Jones attempted to secure her third gold medal in the 57kg event on Thursday after victory in London and Rio.
However, the 31-year-old was edged out by North Macedonian Miljana Reljikj, meaning her hopes now rest on a potential place in the repechage which could secure her a bronze medal at best.
Bradly Sinden, who became Britain’s first-ever male taekwondo world champion in 2019, made his way to the 68kg category semifinal after beating Croatia's Marko Golubic, but had to pull out after injuring his knee.
Diving
Jack Laugher and Jordan Houlden missed out on medals in the men's 3m springboard final, finishing fifth and seventh with scores of 427.75 and 410.95, respectively.
China's Siyi Xie and Zongyuan Wang came in first and second, with Italy's Osmar Olvera Ibarra in third.
Laugher earned a bronze in Paris and has springboard silver from Rio and bronze from Tokyo.
Grace Reid and Yasmin Harper have both booked their place in the women’s 3m springboard final after successfully qualifying in Thursday's semi-finals.
They were two of 12 divers to qualify for the final on Friday after Harper finished 12th and Reid seventh.
Athletics
The women’s heptathlon began on Thursday, with 100m hurdles high jump, shot put and 200m taking place.
Team GBs Katarina Johnson-Thompson, a two-time world champion, was leading the competition at the end of the first day as she seeks her first Olympic medal at her fourth Games.
She briefly lost her place to Belgium's Nafissatou Thiam, but later regained her advantage after clocking 23.44 seconds in the 200 metres.
She enters day two with a combined 4055 points, 48 more than Thiam and 99 ahead of the United States’ Anna Hall, Thursday’s third-place finisher.
Georgia Bell, Laura Muir and Revee Walcott-Nolan also contested the women’s 1500m semi-finals.
Sailing
Connor Bainbridge is in eighth in the men’s kite race.
