Great Britain’s Elinor Barker and Neah Evans won a hard-earned silver medal in an enthralling madison at the Paris Olympics.
A huge push on the final sprint gave them a total of 31 points, six points behind champions Italy who gained a lap.
GB were the only team on the podium to not take a 20-point lap, with bronze medallists the Netherlands being the first to make the catch.
Barker won the final sprint, which awards double points, to catapult her and Evans up a step from bronze medal position.
It continues Team GB’s success in the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines velodrome at these Olympics with six medals now won.
