Paris Olympics: Women’s team pursuit preview

The highest profile event of the Olympic Games track cycling is the team pursuit, which women have competed in since 2012. Great Britain won the first two Olympic golds in London and Rio de Janeiro.

Ten nations will race for the medals in the women’s team pursuit. The competition begins with a qualifying round with each team trying to set the fastest time toward the first round. However, only the top four teams can compete for the medals.
