Britain clocked their second world record of the night to successfully defend their Olympic team sprint crown in the final against France at a packed London Velodrome Thursday. Philip Hindes, Jason Kenny and Sir Chris Hoy completed their three-lap effort in a new world mark of 42.600sec, beating the record of 42.747 they had set earlier in qualifying. Germany beat Australia for the bronze. Hoy has now pulled level on the gold medals count with British Olympic legend Sir Steve Redgrave, who won five golds and one bronze from the Games rowing events. The 36-year-old Scot's tally of six Olympic medals includes five gold -- one in London, three in Beijing and one in Athens in 2004 -- and a silver medal from Sydney. On Wednesday Tour de France champion Bradley Wiggins won the men's road race time trial to claim his fourth Olympic gold and take his overall medals tally to seven.
