UCI Planning Radical Changes to the Olympic Track Program

umwolverine — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 17:27:10 -0000

in an effort to bring parity to the men's and women's olympic track program, the uci is proposing radical changes to the olympic track program for the london 2012 games. the revamp would include eliminating the individual pursuits, points, and madison. instead, there would be five events each for the women and the men: individual sprint, team sprint, keirin, team pursuit, and an omnium.

for those such as i not familiar with the term omnium, wikipedia describes it as "a multiple race event in which all contestants compete against each other in five different disciplines." the uci is looking at the flying 200m time trial, a points race, a scratch race, and an individual pursuit for the 2012 omnium.

final decision is suppose to be determined by 12 december 2009.
