A total of 15 nations will take part in two-rider teams for 2024 Olympic Games glory in the men’s Madison. The competition takes place at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome, located 35km from Paris near venues hosting mountain biking, BMX racing, equestrian and golf.
While the men’s Madison has been contested for more than a century, taking its name from the New York City venue at which the discipline originated, Madison Square Garden, the event did not make its first appearance in the Olympic Games until 2000 in Sydney. After three Olympics, it was dropped, then reinstated at the 2020 Tokyo Games when the event was held for men and women.
