won the previous two races at Interlago

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Jason Kenny defeated Callum Skinner in an all-Britain final inside the velodrome Sunday to defend his individual sprint Olympic gold medal and win his second gold of the Rio Games.Kenny and Skinner combined with Philip Hindes to win the team sprint Thursday night.Kenny overtook Skinner on the final straightaway to win the first of their best-of-three race, then showed some veteran poise as he held off Skinner from the lead to make it a clean sweep.It was Kennys fifth Olympic gold medal and sixth medal overall. The performance also gave the powerful British track cycling team four gold medals and six overall in Rio.Denis Dmitriev of Russia swept past Matt Glaetzer of Australia to take bronze.Former world road champion Mark Cavendish of Britain also got his Olympics going in the opening events of the multi-discipline omnium, the decathlon of the track cycling program.The winner of 30 stages in the Tour de France, Cavendish was the lone British rider to leave the 2008 Beijing Games without a track cycling medal. He also failed to win a medal at the London Games four years ago, when he was among the favorites in the road race.With its massive funding from lottery proceeds, the British team has come to dominate track cycling at the Olympic, winning seven golds each of the past two Summer Games. And in events where nations are allowed more than one rider, they often claim silver and bronze, too.Their success four years ago led one French official to suggest they had magic wheels.The British insist the only magic is in their training.They plan every four years for the Olympics, even at the expense of major events such as the world championships. Everything is geared toward making sure they are razor-sharp for the Summer Games.Kenny is perhaps the best at it.Many critics thought the man from Bolton had lost some of the leg speed that carried him to two gold medals at the London Games. But he quickly silenced them by teaming with Skinner and Philip Hindes to win the team sprint gold on the opening night of the track program in Rio.That began another remarkable medal rush that included world-record performances by the mens and womens pursuit teams and a silver medal for Becky James in the keirin.More could be on the way.Along with Kenny in the keirin and Cavendish in the omnium, which wraps up Monday night, theres James and Katy Marchant in action in the womens sprint Tuesday night. Both breezed through their matches to open the sprint competition Sunday. Cris Carter Vikings Jersey . LOUIS -- St. Paul Krause Youth Jersey .

Alexander Mattison Youth Jersey . -- Mike Smith never saw his first NHL goal go in. Nico Rosberg says he sees no need to change his approach despite knowing he could seal his maiden Formula One title at this weekends Brazilian Grand Prix.A win for Rosberg in Brazil would be enough to claim the championship with a race to spare, regardless of where Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton finishes. Rosberg can even afford to follow Hamilton home in second place at the next two grands prix, or record one second and a third, and still secure the title. However, the German insists he will continue to use the method of approach which has served him well so far in 2016.Mexico wasnt ideal, Rosberg said. I was going for the win as always but Lewis was just a little bit faster all weekend. Sometimes you just have to accept that and be satisfied with your work. Im not going to change my approach. I need to keep doing what helps me perform at my best and thats going for the win every time.There are still two races to go and anything can happen in this sport, so I need to focus my energy on the factors that I have in my control. Ive got good form in Sao Paulo. Its one of thee real classic tracks, which usually produce some exciting races, so Im looking forward to getting out there and having a big battle in front of those awesome Brazilian fans.ddddddddddddMercedes boss Toto Wolff believes Rosberg -- who has won the previous two races at Interlagos -- is the Mercedes driver with the least pressure on his shoulders, by having the luxury of a second opportunity to claim the championship crown in Abu Dhabi at the end of November, if he cannot do so in Brazil.For Nico, all this talk of just needing to finish second in order to make it to the end is over -- he has it in his hands, Wolff said. If he wins the race in Brazil, he is champion. Weve seen many races, particularly in the second half of this season, where he has coped well under pressure. But, mentally, I think this new situation is actually a bit easier in terms of tackling the situation with a little less pressure, as he still has another chance in Abu Dhabi. ' ' '
