TRACK RACING: TEAM SPRINT
In the Team Sprint, teams of 2 riders (women's) or 3 riders (men's) compete on opposite sides of the velodrome, racing for 2 or 3 laps respectively. The lead rider sets a fast pace for their teammate(s) and peels off after completing their lap, leaving the final rider to sprint to the finish.
The winning time is determined by the last (final) rider's time crossing the finish line. The fastest teams from qualifying progress to the gold medal final.
