Jason Kenny clinches Track Cycling World Championships keirin gold

Jason Kenny has won gold for Great Britain in the men's keirin at the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Minsk, Belarus.

The 24-year-old had originally missed out on a place in the final before he was reinstated when Frenchman Francois Pervis was relegated from seventh place to 12th place.

Kenny pulled away from Germany's Maximilian Levy on a dramatic final lap to clinch the title.

"It was unbelievable," Kenny told BBC Sport.

"I was suffering a crisis of confidence after coming sixth in the team pursuit, but a bit of luck finally went my way and the final unfolded perfectly."

Kenny's gold came just minutes after Britain's Simon Yates was crowned men's points race champion.
