IZU, Japan -The Netherlands won the gold medal in the Olympic men's team sprint at the Izu Velodrome on Tuesday, outclassing three-times defending champions Britain with a dominant display in the final.
Kenny, the sole British rider left from their last three Olympic triumphs, was left with far too much work to do going into the final lap and was forced to settle for silver alongside team mates Ryan Owens and Jack Carlin. The Dutch team lived up to their billing as favourites, having won the previous three world titles in the discipline.
Only minutes later, the Dutch went even faster to crush Poland in a heat as they booked a place in the gold medal decider.In the final, it was Hoogland who brought it home in grand style for the Dutch on the final stretch, as Kenny lost contact to end British hopes.
