Chris Hoy wins gold for Team GB in the men's track cycling keirin event at the London 2012 Olympic Games (7 August).
Germany's Maximilian Levy won silver in the event with New Zealand's Simon Van Velthooven claiming bronze.
Cycling is among the rare sports that have always featured on the Olympic programme. Road cycling, however, was not on the programme of the Paris 1900, St Louis 1904 or London 1908 Games, while track cycling wasn't in the programme of the Stockholm 1912 Games.
The first road event in Olympic history took place in 1896 on the marathon route at the first Games of the modern era in Athens. The race started in Athens, headed towards Marathon, then returned to Athens, at the Phaliron velodrome.
Olympic cycling was added to the women's programme in Los Angeles in 1984, with an individual road event.

The Velodrome was the best part of London 2012 imo. Team GB won so many medals and the atmosphere was incredible. Great memories.

Check Hoy's coach at 10:18 onwards. He probably saved Hoy's gold there. He knew Hoy had made a small mistake by not going full gas earlier and was URGING him to go 100%. Hoy did so immediately and just hung on in the back straight to prevent the overlap. All time great athlete combined with great coaching = gold.

@WDH59510 10 жыл бұрын

Replying to SmartyPants: Keirin is a form of motor-paced cycle racing in which track cyclists sprint for victory following a speed-controlled start behind a motorized or non-motorized pacer. It was developed in Japan around 1948 for gambling purposes and became an official event at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. Races are about 2 kilometers long: 8 laps on a 250 m track, 6 laps on a 333 m track, 5 laps on a 400 m track. Lots are drawn to determine starting positions for the sprint riders behind the pacer, which is usually a motorcycle, but can be a derny or tandem bicycle. Riders must remain behind the pacer for a predetermined number of laps. Initially it makes circuits at about 25 kilometres per hour (16 mph), gradually increasing to about 50 kilometres per hour (31 mph). The pacer usually leaves the track approximately 600-700 meters before the end. The winner's finishing speed is around 70 kilometres per hour (43 mph).

If the Kilo had stayed in the Olympic programme we might never have seen Hoy make the switch. In the end it probably benefitted his career and increased the total number of Olympic golds he eventually achieved.

@matthewrajan9248 2 жыл бұрын

Apparently Hoy was furious when the UCI decided to scrap the Kilo for 2008. Before his third Beijing gold medal ceremony, Pat McQuaid (UCI president) said 'you've got to forgive me now! Theres's no way you would have won three gold medals if the kilo was still on the programme'. Hoy replied 'fair enough!'

Love the commentary at 10:28 "Hoy looks beaten". I have to say I was sure he'd be beaten at that point, he went way early & 2 or 3 of the others were coming out of his slipstream, only Chris Hoy could have found the power to win from that position. Incredible athelete!

@wullebulle123 11 жыл бұрын

a short distance race on the velodrome with no possibility for separated lanes (like in track and field athletics) with more than two competitors (check 'individual sprint') only makes sense with a (motor) paced start. I think, they should though change the 6 pace laps to e.g. 2 or 3 pace laps with 2 laps left for the sprint battle, thats sufficient to pick up speed and would make the race more spectacular. The 6 (pace) and 2 (sprint) rule is from Japan, where it was invented in the 1940ies.

Either way, all of the equipment used by the British team is legal under the rules of the Track Cycling federation. I hear a lot of talk about out bikes being better etc... they probably are, but British cycling has huge financial backing from out lottery funding system AND from outside investors, For Example 'Team Sky' road racing team are funded by private investment. Cycling is huge in the UK now and it is rewarded financially, that is why the LEGAL equipment may be better.

It's to get them racing at high speed. Because of the huge disadvantage of being in the front in cycling no one wants to pick the pace up until the last moment. If you watch the individual sprint you can see the game of cat and mouse this causes. Without the derny bike, you get a very different event
