After the World Championships in 1999, this was the second time that the world title competitions took place in the Velodrome. A total of 14 rail world championships have been held in Germany since 1895.
The most successful nation at these world championships was the Netherlands with six gold medals. In the short-term events alone, the Dutch men won four medals, in sprint , keirin , time trial and team sprint . Kirsten Wild won two gold medals, in the scratch and with Amy Pieters in the two-man team ; She could not defend her world title from the Omnium the year before because she caused the fall of five competitors in the Scratch sub-discipline and was therefore relegated. Yūmi Kajihara was the first Japanese woman to win this competition, despite a fall in the elimination stage .
Third place was taken by the USA team , whose women's foursome won gold in the team pursuit. Chloé Dygert , a member of the four, also won the single pursuit with a world record time of 3: 16.937 minutes. The only gold medal for Italy went to Filippo Ganna , who improved his own world record in qualifying for the single pursuit with 4: 01.934 minutes .
Second place in the national ranking by medals went to the German team with four gold medals, all of which were won by two young sprinters. Emma Hinze won three gold medals in sprint, keirin, and team sprint; her teammate Lea Sophie Friedrich won the 500-meter time trial and was also involved in winning the team sprint. The German women's foursome with Franziska Brauße , Lisa Brennauer , Lisa Klein and Gudrun Stock won bronze in the team pursuit with the new German record time of 4: 11.039 minutes. In the single pursuit, the German women managed to take second (Brennauer), three (Brauße) and four (Klein).
The men's foursome from Denmark improved the world record three times within two days of competition to finally 3: 44.672 minutes. Before the 2020 World Cup, the record was 3: 48.012 minutes, set by Australia at the 2019 Track World Cup in Pruszków, Poland . Three more world records were set: In the team sprint, the Dutch team improved the German record from 2013 to 41.225 seconds. The American Chloé Dygert improved her previous best performance in the single pursuit over 3000 meters to 3: 16.937 minutes, and the Italian Filippo Ganna broke his own world record in the same discipline over 4000 meters, which is now 4: 01.934 minutes.
The Australian team, spoiled for success, only finished eleventh in the medal ranking with one silver and two golds and was heavily criticized in their home country for this in the Olympic year.
