Newz Forum: OLYMPICS: Britains Wiggins wins cycling Gold

Bradley Wiggins won Britain's second gold on the cycling track with victory over Brad McGee of Australia in the final of the individual pursuit.

The Londoner, who set a new Olympic record in qualifying, proved too quick for his former Francaise des Jeux team-mate.

McGee, who pulled out of the Tour de France with a back and hip injury, beat Wiggins in the final of the event at the 2002 Commonwealth Games.

Former world champion and three-time Tour de France stage winner Chris Boardman, who has been working with Wiggins in his preparation for the Games said: "Everything he's done in the last few months has paid off."
