Welsh teenage cyclist Ioan Hepburn raced in the keirin this afternoon after being too ill to take part in the men's sprint bronze medal final on Thursday evening.
The 18-year-old was due to compete alongside Lewis Oliva and Steffan Lloyd in the race for third place against Trinidad and Tobago.
Hepburn was withdrawn just before the race was due to start because of illness.
He was track side when the decision was made with his team-mates Oliva and Lloyd on the start line.
Trinidad and Tobago were awarded the bronze with Wales not racing and Hepburn left the arena distraught.
Team Wales said: "Ioan went from the track to hospital to be checked over.
"He was discharged shortly afterwards and has been medically cleared to race again."
Hepburn rode in two races but bowed out in the repechage.
