They are about 10 minutes away from tip-off.

Georgia Baker looks to have missed out on a medal for the women’s omnium.

The points race of the women’s omnium is underway.

The 80-lap race features a sprint every 10 laps where cyclists are awarded points based on their positions.

Cyclists also receive a huge bonus if they lap the field but are massively penalised if they are lapped.
