UCI track world championships 1924

The 20th UCI Track World Championships took place in Paris on the Velodrome in the Prinzenparkstadion . On August 3, 1924 were Sprint held -race, on August 10, the pacemaker race .

At these world championships - as between 1920 and 1922 - there were no German athletes at the start. For the professionals, the reason was violent quarrels between the Association of German Radrennbahnen (VDR) and the representative of professional racing drivers, the "German Racing Driver Association" (DRV), so that no German drivers were nominated. In the amateur area there were no Germans because the organizing committee of the World Championships was identical to that of the 1924 Summer Games , also in Paris, to which German drivers were not invited after the First World War, as they had been for the 1920 Games in Antwerp.
