Great Britain is assured of a gold and silver in the final for this event on Sunday, after Rebecca Romero and Wendy Houvenaghel set the two fastest times in the second round. Alison Shanks (New Zealand) and Lesya Kalitovska (Ukraine) will ride for the bronze. American Sarah Hammer, a former world champion, fell to Shanks and won't have the chance to contend for a medal.
