Mark Cavendish secured the Olympic silver medal in the mens omnium but admitted he was culpable for a crash which threatened to extend his wait for a podium place.Cavendish finally got his hands on an Olympic medal -- after eight years of trying and at the third attempt -- when he finished behind Italys Elia Viviani, with defending champion Lasse Norman Hansen of Denmark picking up bronze.A mid-race crash appeared to be of Cavendishs own making, but there was no protest as South Koreas Park Sanghoon was taken out of the Rio Velodrome on a stretcher.The incident, which happened with 109 laps of the 140-lap points race remaining, was reviewed by officials at the time and Cavendish was absolved of blame, according to Press Association Sport. Had officials determined Cavendish was at fault, he would have been sanctioned there and then.It was my fault, Cavendish said. I shouldve looked where I was going a bit more. I hope hes all right. I apologised to Elia, who went down.The Great Britain rider is reported to have had several confrontations with the media in the mixed zone as he was questioned about the incident, with one journalist reporting he threatened to sue them for suggesting he did it deliberately.?Cavendish had a 16-point deficit entering the concluding points race. Twenty points were available for gaining a lap, but Cavendish was heavily marked and Vivianis advantage was too much to bridge.Instead Cavendish had to fend off attacks from riders vying to depose him from the podium, steadily accumulating points in the sprints which came every 10 laps to take silver.I kept trying to go. It was difficult. It was a strange one, Cavendish added. Im always going to be a marked man.I had to get the sprints. I felt incredible. I could see people dying and I felt better and better. I knew at the halfway point it was going to be difficult to get a lap and Id just have to pick off sprints one by one.Ultimately I couldnt have done any more. I have to be happy. Elia was better across the six disciplines. He deserved to win that Olympic gold. Its always disappointing not to win, but I did all I could, so yes, Im happy.Cavendishs silver ended a long wait for an Olympic medal and came a month after leaving the Tour de France early with four stage wins, taking his career tally to 30, which is second only to Eddy Merckx.I made every day count, Cavendish said. He was ninth in the Madison with Sir Bradley Wiggins at the 2008 Games in Beijing, suffering the ignominy of being the only member of the track team not to win a medal.Cavendish felt he could have ridden one of the three team pursuit rounds, earning a medal. And he had a wry smile when asked if he made his point with his performance in the individual pursuit, the second omnium discipline.He clocked four minutes 16.878 seconds, within two seconds of Wiggins Olympic record from Beijing 2008, which Hansen went on to surpass.Cavendish said: I had to slow down. I wouldve gone for Brads [Olympic] record, but you guys would start click-baiting that I did it because I didnt want to be friends with him.He has achieved two of his 2016 goals -- the Tours yellow jersey and an Olympic medal -- and now will turn his attentions to the third, a second road race world title in Qatar in October.He celebrated with his family, wife Peta, four-year-old daughter Delilah Grace and son Frey, who is one on Wednesday. Finnbar, Petas son from a previous relationship, was also present.Cavendish, who flies home Tuesday, added: Im racing on Sunday [at Vattenfall Cyclassics in Germany]. Its back to the day job.
