Track Cycling is part of the 4 cycling categories and events that will take place at the Rio 216 Olympics.
The other cycling events are BMX, Mountain Biking and Road Cycling also known as Road Race.
Rio 2016 Summer Olympics Track Cycling has 10 events for both men and women and will start on the 11th of August and end on the 16th of August.
These 10 track cycling events that will part of the Rio 2016 Cycling Sports are Keirin which will feature individual competitions only.
Omnium too will have no team events either for men or women.
Sprint is the only 2016 Olympics track cycling event that will feature both individual and team events while Pursuit on the other hand will feature men and women teams events only.
2016 Summer Olympics Track Cycling Venue
Track cycling for the Rio 2016 will take place at the Rio Olympics Velodrome located in the Barra de Tajuca venue clusters. This venue has capacity to hold 7500 spectators. The Olympics Velodrome took about a year to construct from 2015 at a cost of about 145 million US dollars.
If you know Rio de Janeiro’s Barra area well, then you are familiar with Nelson Piquet International Autodrome and I will break the sad news to you, it’s no more.
Jacarepagua, as this motor circuit was known to many was demolished in 2012 to give a room to this newly constructed Rio Olympics Velodrome.
Don’t be too sad, Jacarepagua had served its purpose for 35 years had been constructed in 1977.
2016 Summer Olympics Track Cycling Schedule
Track cycling is a high Adrenalin sporting event and taking a seat to watch the cyclists outwit each other, either individually or as a team is something to look forward to.
Therefore book your seat either near the TV or in the Rio Olympics Velodrome and watch the events unfold. To ensure that you do not miss anything, see below the schedule for the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics Track Cycling Events.
