Bolton hero helps Great Britain become 'Gold' Britain in Brazil
Bolton cycling star peddles Team GB to Olympic gold rush
Bolton's Jason Kenny was among the history-makers who turned Great Britain into 'Gold' Britain at the Rio Olympics
Kenny's gold in the velodrome took his career tally to five, having won a fourth in the team sprint with Skinner and Phil Hindes on Thursday.
His only defeat in Olympic competition was at the 2008 Beijing Games, when Sir Chris Hoy beat him in the sprint.
Andy Murray and Max Whitlock also helped take Team GB into second place on the medal table at Rio 2016 after winning three golds between them on day nine of the Games.
By defending his London 2012 title, Murray became the the first tennis player to win back-to-back singles golds at the Olympics. He was moved to tears at the end of his match and afterwards said it was one of the hardest matches'' he had to play for a major title.
Golfer Justin Rose added further gloss to a fine day's competition with another gold on what has become known as 'super sunday' for the Brits
Gymnast Max Whitlock had earlier become the first British man to win an Olympic medal on the floor which he followed with a second gold on the pommel horse 75 minutes later.
On the athletics track, Jamaica's Usain Bolt became the first man to win three Olympic golds in the 100m and South Africa's Wayde van Niekerk smashed Michael Johnson's 17-year-old 400 metres world record.
It meant Britain moved ahead of China into second place on the overall scoreboard, behind only the US.
