Track cycling day 7: The final day of racing in the velodrome will conclude with three gold medals on offer
The Tokyo 2020 track cycling competition will come to an exciting conclusion with three gold medals up for grabs.
The day’s finals include the women’s sprint and omnium and the men’s keirin, which originated in Japan. In keirin, riders compete in a six-lap race. A motorbike pacemaker, called a derny, gradually increases in speed as the cyclists draft behind while manoeuvring for position. The pacer accelerates to 50km/h, and when only three laps remaining, it pulls away to allow the riders to sprint in a wild dash for the finish.
