Kenny packaged two golds in Beijing. He both won titles and broke world records in men's CP3 1km time trial and individual pursuit.
Just moments earlier Kenny had seen his teammate Rik Waddon take two seconds off the world record Kenny set at the 2007 World Championships in France. If he needed any incentive to burn the track down, this was it.
"I feel like flying on the track," said Kenny, "It's just fantastic. It's really nice. It is a little bit difficult race. And especially my teammate is also there in the same race. There are your main competitors. You want them to do well. Both my teammate and I will be on the podium. The new record is what we all expected to.
"My most memorable moment would be my first gold medal in Athens. I don't even think it was pleasant!
"Unbelievable amount of pressure going into the event, I was one of the favorites, you don't realize how much pressure it is until it's over.
"I remember getting on the start line, looking up at the fifty foot high screen they've got with a close-up of my face, with about five seconds to go... it was like 'Oh Christ!'"
