Great Britain won silver in a pulsating men’s team pursuit final to secure a third medal in as many days in the Paris Olympic velodrome.
Ethan Hayter, Dan Bigham, Charlie Tanfield and Ethan Vernon were pipped to gold by Australia, who win this event for the first time since the 2004 Games.
Despite a strong start, the British quartet had trailed Australia by tiny fractions of a second for most of the race and were under two-tenths of a second behind as they started the final lap.
