Cyclist Ellesse Andrews has claimed her second gold medal of the Paris Games, in the women's sprints.

She dominated over Germany's Lea Friedrich in the medal races, making it two wins from two to take the gold without the need for a decider.

Cyclist Ally Wollaston claimed a bronze medal in the omnium, after lapping the field twice in the points race to move up from eighth.

Both Wollaston and Andrews had already bagged medals going into their races - Wollaston holds a silver for the women's team cycling pursuit, while Andrews has silver and gold from the team sprints and the keirin, respectively.

Earlier, Camille French came 60th in the marathon, while Sam Dakin was knocked out of the men's keirin in the semifinals.
