Victoria Pendleton wins cycling gold for GB in women's keirin
Victoria Pendleton rode to victory in the women's keirin to secure Britain's third track cycling gold in 24 hours.
Pendleton crossed the line first in a hotly contested final, making a dash for the line at the bell.
Guo Shuang took silver with Lee Wai Sze of Hong Kong in bronze. Australia's world champion Anna Meares was fifth.
Pendleton and long-time rival Meares will go head-to-head again when the 31-year-old Briton begins the defence of her individual sprint title on Sunday.
The sprint final takes place on Tuesday, when Pendleton - the most successful British female track cyclist of all time - will be hoping to secure her second gold medal at the Velodrome.

It's a funny old event really. How odd to see that moped.
Gold is gold and she did an awesome job.
There's a very emotional story behind this too.
Very well done Victoria
