GB’s Finucane takes keirin bronze for second medal

Great Britain’s Emma Finucane took bronze in the women’s keirin to win her second medal of the Paris Olympics.

Finucane, who had been aiming to become the first British female athlete to win three golds in a single Games, saw that bid for history ended when she finished behind winner Ellesse Andrews of New Zealand and Dutch silver medallist Hetty van de Wouw.

Fellow Briton Katy Marchant, who like Finucane was part of the team sprint gold-winning team earlier this week, came fourth.

Finucane has a chance of a third medal at these Games in the women’s sprint. Qualifying for that starts on Friday, with the final on Sunday.

Great Britain have another medal chance at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines velodrome on Thursday with Ethan Hayter competing in the omnium.
