China have the gold medal snatched away and are relegated to silver following the women's sprint final with Germany.

China have missed out on claiming gold after they were relegated for changing over too quickly during the women's sprint final.

An investigation went underway after questions were raised over an illegal overlap at the very end of the race.

The Germans will be crowned Olympic champions after coming in second with a time of 32.798s, while Australia claimed bronze with a time of 32.727s over Ukraine.

The same relegation was made during the heats, when Great Britain were eliminated from the final after Victoria Pendleton committed an illegal change-over.
