Kenny loses first leg

Defending champion Jason Kenny was beaten in the opening bout of the men's sprint final at the Track Cycling World Championships by France's Gregory Bauge.

It was a rematch of the 2011 final, when Kenny was beaten 2-0 by the Frenchman, who was later stripped of the title for an anti-doping offence, handing the 24-year-old from Bolton the rainbow jersey.

Sir Chris Hoy, beaten by Kenny in the semi-final, met Australia's Shane Perkins for bronze.

The Scot won the first bout and avoided relegation from the officials despite appearing to exit the sprinters' lane in a tight tussle with Perkins.
