SAINT QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France (Reuters) - The final day of track racing at the Olympic velodrome summed up the frustration of Britain's lowest gold-medal tally on the boards since the 2000 Games in Sydney.

Jack Carlin's hopes of a third medal of the week were wiped out in a high-speed crash near the finish of the keirin while earlier Neah Evans crashed in the omnium scratch race and was never in with a shout of a medal.
