Before the points race, the main favorite, Britain&#8217;s three-time Olympic champion Laura Trott, had a comfortable lead. The 24-point lead over her main rivals built up over the previous five events let her pick what she wanted from a wide range of tactical options. As the race showed, the key to her chosen tactics was not to let her main rivals take a lap and, at the same time, to use opportunities to add points. It must be said that Laura handled it brilliantly, and at no point in the race did anyone have any doubt about her success.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5699\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/yuzurusunada.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5699\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-5699\" src=\"http:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/sample-TROTT-DHOORE009p.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"http:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/sample-TROTT-DHOORE009p.jpg\" alt=\"15 August 2016 2016 Summer Olympics (Rio de Janeiro, BRAZIL) Women Omnium Scratch Race 16 TROTT Laura (GBR) D'HOORE Jolien (BEL) Photo : Yuzuru SUNADA\" width=\"580\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27580%27%20height%3D%27386%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20580%20386%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27580%27%20height%3D%27386%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/sample-TROTT-DHOORE009p-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/sample-TROTT-DHOORE009p.jpg 800w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5699\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">15 August 2016<br \/> 2016 Summer Olympics (Rio de Janeiro, BRAZIL)<br \/> Women Omnium Scratch Race 16<br \/> TROTT Laura (GBR)<br \/> D&#8217;HOORE Jolien (BEL)<br \/> Photo : Yuzuru SUNADA<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Laura&#8217;s brilliant performance was crowned with a historic result: she won the fourth Olympic gold of her career and became the first British woman in history with such a haul!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5700\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/yuzurusunada.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5700\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-5700\" src=\"http:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/sample-Podium002p1.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"http:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/sample-Podium002p1.jpg\" alt=\"16 August 2016 2016 Summer Olympics (Rio de Janeiro, BRAZIL) Women Omnium Points Race 66 1st : TROTT Laura (GBR) 2nd : D'HOORE Jolien (BEL) 3rd : HAMMER Sarah (USA) Photo : Yuzuru SUNADA\" width=\"500\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27500%27%20height%3D%27750%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20500%20750%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27500%27%20height%3D%27750%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/sample-Podium002p1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/sample-Podium002p1.jpg 533w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5700\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">16 August 2016<br \/> 2016 Summer Olympics (Rio de Janeiro, BRAZIL)<br \/> Women Omnium Points Race 66<br \/> 1st : TROTT Laura (GBR)<br \/> 2nd : D&#8217;HOORE Jolien (BEL)<br \/> 3rd : HAMMER Sarah (USA)<br \/> Photo : Yuzuru SUNADA<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then it was the women sprinters&#8217; turn.
