Australian duo Matthew Richardson and Matthew Glaetzer have won silver and bronze respectively in a chaotic keirin final on Sunday night . Richardson looked a sneaky chance of taking gold, but Dutch great Harrie Lavreysen had too much power during the blistering sprint. Richardson, who had already won a silver and bronze in Paris, finished just 0.056s behind Lavreysen. But there was carnage at the back of the field.
He looked destined to finish out of the medals until the brutal collision. Carlin and Nakano failed to finish, while Sahrom was officially fourth. But for Glaetzer, it was reminiscent of Steven Bradbury, who famously won gold in the Winter Olympics when the speedskaters crashed in front of him. “Glaetzer was the first one to go. Got out in front. And into the final bend is where it all went really pear-shaped,” Scott McGrory said in commentary.
