SHIZUOKA: Jason Kenny was talking about winning his ninth Olympic medal while his wife Laura was doing circuits around him, attempting to win her seventh. Laura missed out on gold in the women’s omnium, an early crash yesterday derailing her bid to defend the title she won in Rio. But she already had collected a sixth gold medal in Japan in the madison, as well as a silver in the team pursuit. By the time Jason had won the keirin, another Olympic velodrome was about to close with Britain’s star couple having stolen the show. Jason Kenny is Britain’s most successful Olympian with seven gold medals, pulling ahead of Chris Hoy, and most decorated, his nine medals of any colour eclipsing Bradley Wiggins’ eight.
