The final had to be re-started twice. Kenny had a nervous wait to see if he would be disqualified when he and Malaysia's Azizulhasni Awang sprinted too early along the backstretch. There was a similar incident in the second attempt, the German rider erring this time.
But - third time lucky - the third race went to plan and Kenny sprinted his way into the history books, powering to victory ahead Dutch rider Matthijs Buchli, who took silver. and Awang bronze.
