First tests on the velodrome

At the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro , a total of 18 cycling decisions were on the program, nine each for women and men.

The competitions on the road , on the track , in BMX and mountain bike races took place between August 6 and 21. The road races for men and women on August 6th and 7th, 2016 kicked off the cycling program at these games with the mountain bike cross country races on August 20th and 21st.

Cycling has been an Olympic discipline since the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. There is no change in the competition program compared to the 2012 Games in London . In 2013, the World Cycling Federation Union Cycliste Internationale requested that three further disciplines - points race (on the track), BMX freestyle and a mountain bike elimination race - should be held, which the IOC refused.

A test competition in track cycling planned for March 2016 in the Rio Olympic Velodrome had to be postponed to the end of April because the track was not completed on time. While the President of the UCI World Cycling Federation , Brian Cookson , doubted whether the new date would come about, he was certain that the cycling track would be ready for the start of the Olympic competitions. At the end of March it was announced that the test event had to be finally canceled.

Cavendish, who had brought down the Korean Park Sang-hoon in the points race so that he could not finish the omnium, won silver.

28. ↑ BDR presents street squad for Rio with surprises. In: radsport-news.com. June 25, 2016. Retrieved June 25, 2016 .  Maximilian Levy is a track specialist who has been nominated for fourth place in the road race across all disciplines. The Association of German Cyclists has thus sacrificed a street space for better medal chances on the track. One hopes for a medal in the Keirin from Levy. If he had been nominated as a substitute for the track, he would only have been able to start there if one of the regular drivers had injured himself.
29. ↑ Stefan Küng had to be removed from the squad due to a serious injury.
