UCI Track World Championships 2000

The 90th UCI Track World Championships took place from October 25-29, 2000 at the Manchester Velodrome . There were twelve disciplines on the program.

The most successful team was the German with four gold medals. However, numerous athletes who had taken part in the Olympic Games in Sydney a few weeks earlier were not at the start. The most successful athlete was the German driver Jens Lehmann with two gold medals, followed by his team mate Stefan Steinweg with one gold and one silver medal.

During these world championships, Chris Boardman said goodbye to active sport with a new hour record over 49.441 kilometers. He improved Eddy Merckx's old record from 1972 over 49.431 kilometers. (Several records set in the meantime - also by Boardman - had been canceled by the Union Cycliste Internationale , the world cycling association , because they had been achieved on special bikes.)
