Italy broke their own world record to be crowned men's team pursuit Olympic champions for the first time in 61 years at Tokyo 2020.

The quartet of Simone Consonni, Filippo Ganna, Francesco Lamon and Jonathan Milan beat Denmark to gold in three minutes 42.032 seconds.

That was just 0.166 seconds quicker than world champions Denmark.

Italy are now eight-time champions in the event but had not won since the Rome Olympics in 1960.
