• Flying lap: an individual time trial over 250 m (820.2 ft) with a "flying start".
• Points race: a 30 km (18.6 mi) points race, with scoring for intermediate sprints as well as for lapping the pack.
• Elimination race: a "miss-and-out" elimination race, with the last rider in every sprint (each two laps) eliminated.
• Individual pursuit: a 4 km (2.5 mi) individual pursuit, with placing based on time.
• Scratch race: a 15 km (9.3 mi) scratch race, with all riders competing at once and first across the line winning.
• Time trial: a 1 km (0.6 mi) time trial, with two riders (starting opposite the track) riding at once.
