During the morning session, both Team USA and Team GB broke world records in women’s team pursuit. And when the two rival teams met in the finals, the British team broke their own record and took home the gold. Katie Archibald, Laura Trott, Elinor Barker, and Joanna Rowsell-Shand rode for a blazing 4:10.236 to defeat the Americans and win their second-straight gold medal.
Team Canada, who won bronze at the London Games, picked up another third-place finish in Rio.
