Paris Olympics: Women's sprint preview

Emma Finucane added the European title to her World title back in January of this year.

The track cycling events at the Paris Olympics begin on Monday, August 5 and run all the way until Sunday, August 11, with the medals in the women’s sprint being one of the final sets decided at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome outside Paris.

Qualifying will get underway for the 34 entrants on Friday, August 9, with the fastest 24 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 and 1/16 finals and repechages.
