With the completion of the men's cross-country, the cycling events of the 2016 Olympic Games have all been raced and won with Great Britain coming out at the top nation with six golds and 12 medals while Jason Kenny was the most successful cyclist in Rio with three individual gold medals.
From the 54 medals up for contention across the four disciplines, 21 different nations won medals in Rio across the road, track, BMX, and cross-country events with just four of those nations winning multiple golds.
After Chris Froome's bronze in the men's time trial, Great Britain lit up the track over the six days of competition, winning its six golds and 11 medals. There were no more medals added to its tally in the BMX or cross-country events but it all but secured it would top the cycling medal tally due to its showing on the velodrome with every member of its track squad winning a medal.
The Netherlands finish as the second most successful nation, in terms of both golds and medals won. Anna van der Breggen (women's road race), and Elis Ligtlee (women's Keirin) won golds for the Netherlands with Tom Dumoulin (Men's time trial), Matthijs Buchli (Men's Keirin) and Jelle van Gorkom (Men's BMX) all winning silver.
