Cycling fans arrived at the Olympic velodrome on Thursday for the track cycling events - with Britons having high hopes for their country's competitors.
Members of the British royal family were there, too, including Prince William, the Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince Harry.
Inside the velodrome, the women's team sprint world record fell three times in rapid succession - with home favourites Victoria Pendleton and Jessica Varnish clocking 32.526 seconds over the two laps of the velodrome during qualifying to improve on the previous mark of 32.549 set by Germany in April.
But British fans were quickly silenced by the Chinese pairing of Gong Jinjie and Guo Shuang, who went on to beat the record twice.
And, in a huge upset for the home fans, Pendleton and Varnish saw their medal hopes vanish when they were later relegated for making an early change in the first round.
More controversy erupted in the final when China won, but were then eliminated themselves, giving gold to Germany, which had already seen defeat turn to victory against Britain.
But British fans had something to cheer when Chris Hoy has won a fifth Olympic gold medal with victory in the men's team sprint alongside Philip Hindes and Jason Kenny in a world record time of 42.6 seconds.
