Kenny moves into quarter-finals

Jason Kenny qualified in seventh for the men's sprint at the Track Cycling World Championships in Minsk but made serene progress to Saturday evening's best-of-three quarter-finals.

Kenny clocked 10.048 seconds in the flying 200metres time-trial which determines seedings for the match sprints.

He then met Pavel Kelemen of the Czech Republic, winning comfortably, before defeating Stefan Botticher in the second round.

Botticher had beaten Philip Hindes in the first round.

Matt Crampton defied his lowly seeding to beat second-fastest qualifier Robert Forstemann in the first round.

Crampton was beaten by New Zealand's Simon van Velthooven in the second round, but had a second opportunity to advance by dropping into the repechage where he was beaten by Matthew Glaetzer of Australia in the second heat.

Botticher progressed from the first heat.

With one discipline remaining in the men's omnium, Jon Dibben lies seventh.

Dibben was 11th overnight, but placed fifth in the four-kilometre individual pursuit in four minutes 28.674 seconds to move up to eighth. Then he won the 60-lap (15km) scratch race ahead of Jasper de Buyst of Belgium and Hong Kong's Kwok Ho Ting was third.

Dibben now has 37 points overall, with just the one-kilometre time-trial remaining.
