The 32-year-old veteran exhibited his superb form in
Tuesday's semifinal and final, without leaving any chance for Mickael Bourgain
from France and his compatriot Jason Kenny, by winning both convincing races
with evident advantage.
The 1.86-meter Briton has already clinched men's
keirin gold and led the British team to win men's team sprint champion in
previous races.
The British cyclists bagged seven out of ten golds at
the Laoshan Velodrome, a lucky stadium to the mighty Britons.
