There are currently four disciplines in Olympic cycling: track cycling, road cycling, mountain-bike and BMX

Track cycling was first held at the first modern Olympic Games in Athens, Greece in 1896, contesting the Individual Sprint. In fact, all track racing was contested by male athletes only until 1988, when the women's Individual Sprint was held. 


Track events are categorised as either endurance or sprint. The sprint events include the Team Sprint, Individual Sprint and Keirin; and endurance includes the Team Pursuit, the Omnium and Madison.

The Tokyo Games will make history with the first Madison races for women.
