Olympic cycling veteran Anna Meares has missed out on a place in the women's sprint final after finishing second in her repecharge.
Australia's flagbearer has finished 10th in the women's sprint, the event she won in London, but leaves Rio with a bronze medal from the keirin.
When she lost her second-round repechage on Monday, consigning her to a ride-off for ninth to 12th, Meares tearfully hugged riders, coaches and staff from Australia and rival countries.
Glenn O'Shea has finished seventh in the men's omnium race.
O'Shea saw his medal hopes fade after he was unable to avoid a crash in the middle of the race. He was able to get back up again but was not able to get back into a medal position.
