IRELAND’S LARA GILLESPIE has finished in 10th place after the points race in the women’s omnium at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome on the last day of the Paris Olympics.

She slipped back to sixth after the first sprint of eight after being overtaken by Norway’s Anita Stenberg. Gillespie attacked again in sprint three to shoot to the top of the field, with Anita Stenberg following closely behind. That gave her three points to bring her up to sixth with 48 laps remaining.
