BOLTON superstar Jason Kenny kept his bid for a fifth Olympic gold medal alive when he qualified for Sunday's Men's Individual Sprint final tonight.

Kenny will take on Team GB team-mate Callum Skinner - who won gold alongside Kenny in the team Sprint on Thursday - after a trhilling comeback semi-final triumph against Russian Denis Dmitriev.

Losing the first race of the best-of-three semi-final, Kenny clocked 10.048secs to level it at one apiece and then blitzed Dmitriev in 10.071s to maintain his bid to retain the title he won in London in 2012.

Earlier, in the last eight, Kenny eased past Australia's Pat Constable in two races.

He won the first race in 10.341secs and bettered that in race two with a winning time of 10.219s to avoid a third race.

The 28-year-old from Farnworth now has a chance of a fifth gold medal on Sunday night.

Kenny helped Team GB to gold in the team sprint event on Thursday night - and a new Olympic record to boot - to add a Rio gold to the two he picked up at London 2012 and the one he won eight years ago in Beijing.

While Kenny waited for the semi-finals, he watched fiancee Laura Trott win a third gold medal - the first British female in any sport to achieve a treble - in the Women's Team Pursuit final as world champions USA were beaten in the final in another world record time.
