The 2024 Olympics has begun as around 10,500 athletes compete to win 329 gold medals across 32 different sports.
And many eyes will be on the track cycling events, especially in the UK, where the sport soared in popularity due to unprecedented success between Beijing 2008 and the delayed Games in Tokyo in 2021.
Athletes including Chris Hoy, Jason Kenny and Laura Trott wrote themselves into Olympic legend over the course of a 12-year period that saw Team GB dominate track cycling events in both men’s and women’s events, but Paris 2024 arrives with a much more even field and dampened British hopes.
Team GB has a new star in Emma Finucane and the 21-year-old world and European champion is now an Olympic champion after a team sprint gold alongside Katy Marchant and Sophie Capewell, while a women’s team pursuit team consisting of Anna Morris, Elinor Barker, Josie Knight and Jess Roberts is also in line for gold.
Jack Carlin is the other previous Olympic medallist in the Team GB track squad, but he’ll face tough competition from the likes of individual pursuit world record holder Filiippo Ganna and Colombia’s Kevin Quintero.
