Laura Trott stunned by gold-medal victory in omnium

Trott "can't believe" victory

Team GB's Laura Trott has expressed her disbelief in clinching the gold medal in the women's omnium event.

The 20-year-old rode to glory at the velodrome after entering the final race in second place this afternoon.

"I can't believe this has happened to me," Trott told the BBC. "I came into today not feeling as good as yesterday and to finish off with that last 500m is unbelievable.

"I'm peaking at the right time and it's all thanks to the coaches really and the support of the crowd. I'm so happy I can't thank people enough really."

Trott also won gold with two of her teammates in the women's team pursuit final on Saturday.
