Campbell Stewart on pushing through the burn, winning silver

From Checkpoint, 5:15 pm on 6 August 2021

It is the race that had cyclist Campbell Stewart in screaming agony from about the halfway mark, but he pushed through the pain barrier with the help of his cheering teammates to win silver.

The 23-year-old climbed from seventh to second in the men's omnium at the Olympic velodrome in Japan last night.

Stewart was unexpectedly subbed into the race after fellow rider Aaron Gate hit the deck hard in the team pursuit breaking his collar bone.
