Cycling: Britain’s Kenny wins keirin gold to take haul to six (Reuters)

By Stephen Eisenhammer RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) – Britain’s Jason Kenny won the men’s track cycling keirin on Tuesday, taking his gold medal haul to six and equaling Chris Hoy’s record for the country’s most Olympic titles. In a race that was controversially restarted twice without disqualifying any riders, Kenny ultimately had too much pace down the final stretch, recovering from a slow start to finish just clear. After taking gold, Kenny embraced his fiance and fellow gold medal winner Laura Trott, who was in tears in the center of the track.
