Description

Jason Kenny has just won his eighth cycling medal at the Tokyo Olympics to become Great Britain's most decorated Olympian of all time. At the age of 20, Jason won his first Olympic gold, alongside Sir Chris Hoy, in the team sprint at the Beijing Games in 2008 and was one of the figureheads of the highly successful Great Britain Cycling Team at their home Olympics in London four years later, taking his career haul to three golds medals in the sprint and team sprint. But it was in Rio that Jason really wrote his name into British Olympic folklore, winning three more titles, in the team sprint, sprint and keirin.**Thank you to Lotus Cars for being our very special parter for this Olympics series.
