Cavendish achieves long-held Olympic ambition
Manxman Mark Cavendish has achieved his ambition of winning an Olympic medal.
He claimed silver in the men's omnium in Rio on Monday night, finishing two points clear of defending champion Lasse Hansen of Denmark who took the bronze.
The event was won by Italy's Elia Viviani.
Cavendish, representing Great Britain, had won four world titles on the road and track but missed out on a medal in his previous two Olympics.
The medal vindicated his decision to pull out of the Tour de France with five stages remaining last month to help prepare for the Olympics.
The 31-year-old Manxman later admitted he was happy with his efforts.
Education Minister Tim Crookall led the congratulations on behalf of the government.
And said he was sure Cavendish would continue to be a great source of inspiration to so many people in the Island and throughout the sporting world.
