Glasgow 2026 will feature men’s and women’s keirin competitions, as part of the
biggest track cycling programme ever seen at a Commonwealth Games.

Sprinters will be particularly pleased by the event selection,
[announced](https://www.glasgow2026.com/news/4211556/glasgow-2026-announces-largest-ever-para-sport-medal-event-programme)
by the Glasgow 2026 Organising Company: it also includes team sprint, individual
sprint and the kilo for both men and women.

Organisers are clearly leaning towards a more crowd-pleasing spectacle, dropping
the Omnium and Madison – perhaps the most challenging for casual viewers, but
including an Elimination race as a full medal event.

There will also be twice as many para track cycling events as at the last Games
– hosted by Birmingham in 2022, but with the track cycling events taking place
in London.

Glasgow stepped up to host a slimmed-down event, covering only 10 sports across
just 4 venues, following the withdrawal of the Australian state of Victoria.
