There were a few special guests in the audience on Thursday evening as Chris Hoy rocketed Team GB to yet another medal - and himself into the history books.
Among the crowd in the velodrome were a very excited Prince William and Duchess Kate, who celebrated Hoy's victory with a hug.
Are Prince William and wife Kate the coolest royal couple ever?
Other famous figures in the crowd included Prince Harry, as well as prime minister David Cameron and former prime minister John Major.
