BOLTON'S five-time Olympic gold medallist Jason Kenny kept alive his bid for a sixth with qualification to the final of the Keirin later tonight.
In the second round of the event at the Rio velodrome, the 28-year-old 'Farnworth Flyer' finished first in heat one to make it through to tonight's final race, due to take place around 10.20pm.
This came after he coasted to first place in the first round earlier this afternoon.
