Banked oval sprints
Track cycling is bicycle racing on an oval track with banked turns, typically in a velodrome.
The bikes have no brakes and a single fixed gear—pedals turn whenever wheels turn.
Events range from individual sprints and timed pursuits to mass-start races like the points race and Madison.
She competed in track cycling at the Olympics.
