Great Britain’s Emma Finucane took bronze in the women’s keirin to win a “surreal” second medal of the Paris Olympics.
Finucane, who had been aiming to become the first British female athlete to win three golds in a single Games, saw that bid for history ended when she finished behind winner Ellesse Andrews of New Zealand and Dutch silver medallist Hetty van de Wouw.
“I’m just living my little dream to be honest. I can’t believe it,” Finucane, who has another medal chance in the individual sprint, told BBC Sport.
“To get a bronze medal, it literally feels like gold to me because I left everything out there on the track.”
Katy Marchant, who like Finucane was part of the team sprint gold-winning team earlier this week, came fourth.
Fellow Briton Ethan Hayter finished out of the medals in the men’s omnium, coming eighth in a four-race event won by France’s Benjamin Thomas. Portugal’s Iuri Leitao took silver and Belgium’s Fabio van den Bossche got the bronze.
In the day’s other action at the velodrome, Britain’s Jack Carlin qualified for the semi-finals of the men’s sprint but Hamish Turnbull was eliminated.
