What to remember
Three riders, three laps, each rider leading for one lap: that is the team sprint. On 6 August 2024, at the Olympic Games, Jeffrey Hoogland, Harrie Lavreysen and Roy van den Berg covered the 750 m in 40.949 s in the velodrome at Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, as the Netherlands defended their Olympic title.
The event entered championship racing in 1995 and has been on the men's Olympic programme since 2000. As in the team pursuit, the two teams start on opposite sides of the track.
From 2015 onwards, Hoogland and Lavreysen dominated track sprinting together. Hoogland had already won team sprint gold at the 2020 Olympics, setting an Olympic record in the final.
