GB are guaranteed two medals tonight as both TP squads made the gold medal finals. The men
did so comfortably; the women
did so more comfortably than anticipated since Poland got the better of them in their ECh semi.
Tonight, they're up against the European champions (France / Italy respectively).

The young sprinters are also doing themselves justice, with Owens
qualifying second in 9.890 seconds and Truman sixth in 9.926. As expected, the times in Glasgow were slow compared to Paris (which I think has bigger bankings than most 250m velodromes).
They met in the quarter-finals where Owens took it in three; he'll face European champion Pavel Yakushevskiy in his semi (the other is Kamil Kuczyński (top qualifier with 9.871) v ECh bronze medallist Andriy Vynokurov). Oliva qualified 9th in 9.963 and was beaten in the 1/8 finals.
There's also the women's keirin (no Brits), which only had 14 entries so it's just the second round and the finals in that event.
