Hello and welcome to our live rolling blog from the third day of the Olympics track cycling at the Izu Velodrome in Shizuoka, Japan.
Following what was an action-packed session on Tuesday that was full of drama, intrigue and world-record beating performances, some riders will return to the boards today while others will make their first appearances at this year’s Games. As you can see from the below schedule, racing gets under way at 7.30am (BST) when athletes from Australia, Canada, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Great Britain, Japan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Russian Olympic Committee, South Africa and Trinidad and Tobago do their men’s sprint qualifying races. For those of a British persuasion, Team GB riders, Jack Carlin and Jason Kenny will be in action with the latter being the last to ride due to his status as the reigning champion.
