The women's team sprint event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place on 5 August 2024 at the Vélodrome National de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines.

Background

[edit]

This will be the 4th appearance of the event, which has been held at every Summer Olympics since 2012.

Qualification

Competition format

[edit]

A team sprint race consists of a three-lap (750 m) race between two teams of three cyclists, starting on opposite sides of the track. Each member of the team must lead for one of the laps. The time for a team is measured to when the last cyclist finishes. Ties are broken by splits on the last lap.

The tournament consists of an initial qualifying round that seeds the teams. The first round comprises head-to-head races based on seeding (1st vs. 8th, 2nd vs. 7th, etc.). The winners of those four heats advance to the medal round, with the two fastest winners competing in the gold medal final and the two slower winners facing off for bronze.[1][2]
