Track cycling: Ellesse Andrews wins women’s sprint gold

After the first race in the women’s sprint finals, Ellesse Andrews (NZL) leads the gold medal race against Lea Friedrich (GER), while Great Britain’s Emma Finucane (GBR) has the lead for bronze.

And Finucane easily wins the second race for the bronze medal to confirm her spot on the podium.

Here’s the second race for the gold. Can Andrews seal this 2-0?

Friedrich moves first. Andrews comes around the outside with half a lap to go! And she pulls clear!

Ellesse Andrews wins her second gold of the Games and wins gold for New Zealand, adding to her keirin title!
