Track cycling

Track cycling is done on track bikes built on 28-inch wheels, similar to road bikes, but with a simplified and lighter design. The tracks (also sometimes called velodromes) on which this sport is practiced have a shape similar to athletics tracks, but on curves they are strongly inclined so that you can maintain a constant speed on them.

 

Held every four years as part of the Summer Olympics. There are currently 5 events in the Olympics: team sprint, match sprint, keirin, omnium, and team pursuit. The madison will be added in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Each event will be run separately for men and women.
