Jason Kenny’s seventh gold makes him most decorated GB Olympian
Jason Kenny has become Britain’s most decorated Olympian after winning gold in the men’s keirin at Tokyo 2020, a victory that has put on hold talk of an end to his glittering career on the track.
Kenny, who conceded he was “struggling” during the men’s sprint earlier in the week, now has seven golds, one more gold than his fellow keirin specialist Chris Hoy. Those, plus two silvers, have also taken him past Sir Bradley Wiggins, who is on eight.

Having seen Kenny fail to defend his individual and team sprint titles, the five other finalists may have been guilty of underestimating the 33-year-old in a keirin final like no other in the event’s 21-year Olympic history.
