Cycling at the 2004 Summer Olympics – Women's sprint
April 13, 2024
The women's sprint event in cycling at the 2004 Summer Olympics consisted of a series of head-to-head matches in which cyclists made three laps around the track. Only the time for the last 200 metres of the 750 metres covered was counted as official time.[1]
The twelve cyclists competed in six matches of two cyclists each. Winners advanced to the quarterfinals while the defeated riders received a second chance in the 1/8 repechage.
The 1/8 repechage consisted of two heats of three cyclists, with the six riders that had been defeated in the 1/8 final competing. The winner of each of the heats returned to the main competition and advanced to the quarterfinal. The losers of the repechage competed in the 9th to 12th place classification.
