Jason Kenny has been dumped out of the men's individual sprint competition at the track world championships bringing to the end a poor run of performances this week.
Kenny lost to Hersony Canelon of Venezuela in the 1/16 final, the first round of sprint matches. Hersony jumped Kenny with a lap and a half to go. Kenny jumped in behind the Venezuelan but made little impression on his lead as he came up alongside him in the final straight.
