22 July 2024

The men’s and women’s keirin competitions at the 2024 Olympics will take place
over two successive days: August 7 & 8 for the women, August 10 & 11 for the
men. In each case, the first day consists of first round and repechage races.
The quarters, semis and finals all take place in quick succession on the second
day, with barely an hour to recover in each case.

Times are local to Paris (UTC+2). Data sourced from Olympics.com

## Competition format

A UCI keirin competition with 30 riders would typically consist of a first round
(with repechages), semi finals and finals. To make the semi finals, a rider
would have to win either their first round or repechage race.

But more generous arrangements apply to the Olympics, based on UCI regulation
3.2.135. There will be 5 heats of 6 riders, with the top two in each heat
proceeding directly to the quarter finals. Everyone else goes into the
repechages: 4 heats of 5 riders, again with the top two reaching the quarter
final stage.

The quarter finals consist of 3 heats of 6, with riders only needing to finish
in the top four to proceed. We then have 2 semi-finals of 6, with the top three
making the main final, and the bottom three riding off for 7th to 12th.
