History-maker Jason Kenny and Lauren Price made it a glittering finale to a golden Tokyo Olympics for Team GB by capturing cycling and boxing titles on Sunday.
Kenny, 33, became the first Briton to win seven Olympic gold medals when he won the men’s keirin final in Izu.
And Price then took Great Britain’s gold medal tally to 22 when she beat Chinese opponent Li Qian after a dominant display in the women’s middleweight final at Kokugikan Arena.
It was Team GB’s 65th medal of the Games, matching the total at London 2012 and just two behind the record set in Rio five years ago.
What’s happened so far?
Kenny destroyed the field as he also made history as the first British athlete to win nine Olympic medals following a silver in the team sprint on Tuesday.
It was a breathtaking performance by Kenny, who said of his gold collection: “They are all special, they are all different, and they are all really hard to get.”
Welsh boxer Price then won the women’s middleweight final after bossing her opponent from the first bell, while Ireland’s Kellie Harrington earlier clinched lightweight gold after beating Brazilian Beatriz Ferreira on points.
Elsewhere, Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge defended his Olympic marathon title, claiming victory in Sapporo. Great Britain’s Callum Hawkins and Ben Connor were among 29 runners forced to pull out in the hot conditions, while Chris Thompson finished 54th.
