Paris Olympics: Men's sprint preview

Harrie Lavreysen is a five-time sprint World Champion and the defending Olympic title holder.

The men's individual sprint gets the action underway for the fastest riders on two wheels in the world, starting with qualifying on August 7 before the finals and medal-deciding races take place on Friday, August 9, at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome outside Paris.

Qualifying will get underway for the 33 entrants two days into the track events starting at Paris 2024 on Wednesday, August 7, with the fastest times in a 200m flying lap time trial heading into successive rounds of the well-known three-lap match sprints, where the field will be reduced down in the 1/32, 1/16 and 1/8 finals and repechages.
