Victoria Pendleton wins cycling gold for GB in women's keirin

[Terpe]

Victoria Pendleton rode to victory in the women's keirin to secure Britain's third track cycling gold in 24 hours.

Pendleton crossed the line first in a hotly contested final, making a dash for the line at the bell.

Guo Shuang took silver with Lee Wai Sze of Hong Kong in bronze. Australia's world champion Anna Meares was fifth.

Pendleton and long-time rival Meares will go head-to-head again when the 31-year-old Briton begins the defence of her individual sprint title on Sunday.

The sprint final takes place on Tuesday, when Pendleton - the most successful British female track cyclist of all time - will be hoping to secure her second gold medal at the Velodrome.

It's a funny old event really. How odd to see that moped.
Gold is gold and she did an awesome job.

There's a very emotional story behind this too.
Very well done Victoria
