Sir Chris Hoy suspects both Jason and Laura Kenny will overtake the record he currently jointly holds as Britain’s most successful Olympian by the conclusion of next year’s Tokyo Games.
The Scot won six Olympic gold medals across a glittering career while his former team-mate Jason Kenny equalled the benchmark by topping the podium three times at Rio 2016.
The pair have also won one silver each, meaning Kenny, who has returned to cycling after an extended sabbatical, has the opportunity to supersede Hoy in Japan next summer.
