The men's cycling omnium at the 2012 Olympic Games in London took place at the London Velopark on 4 and 5 August.[1]

Lasse Norman Hansen from Denmark won the gold medal. France's Bryan Coquard won silver and Ed Clancy from Great Britain took bronze.

Competition format

The omnium competition consisted of six events, with a point-for-place system.[2] In case of a tie on points the time trial counts.[citation needed]

  • 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.
