Laura Trott wins her second gold of the Olympics with a phenomenal omnium ride in which she roared round the Velodrome track to win Team GB’s 21st gold medal of the Games.
We'll now paint a second gold post box in her honour in Cheshunt, and she will appear on another gold medal stamp. Brilliant!
Incredible
Chris Boardman, Olympic gold medallist, said: ‘A double gold medallist at this age is incredible and I think she has a massive future ahead of her. She is a popular winner. She has no problems with pressure at all.’
Her storming rides in the last two events, the scratch race and 500m time trial, relegated her US rival Sarah Hammer to silver.
She scored 18 points, Hammer finished on 19 and Australia's Annette Edmondson took the bronze with 24.
