Charlie Tanfield soared to a stunning silver medal in the men's team pursuit in Birmingham.

Alongside his teammates Dan Bigham, Ethan Vernon and Oliver Wood, the track cyclist picked up a second place finish behind New Zealand

But Tanfield isn't the only Commonwealth Games medallist in his family.

The track cycling star took top step at Gold Coast 2018 in the individual pursuit and silver in the team pursuit, followed a few days later by brother Harry who took road race silver.

Tanfield uses his love of engineering off the bike to help improve his aerodynamics in racing and has a plethora of international medals to show for it.

After the legendary Ed Clancy withdrew from the team pursuit at the Tokyo Olympics due to injury, Tanfield stepped in as reserve and was involved in a dramatic crash with a Danish rider in the first round.
