Para-cycling on the track is a relatively new discipline that was introduced to the Paralympic Games in 1996 in Atlanta. Since then, it has become an integral part of the Games program, featuring competitions for athletes with visual, physical, and intellectual impairments.

The development of para-cycling on the track has been supported by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), which has worked closely with Paralympic organizations to develop rules and categories that cater to different types of disabilities.

The para-cycling track events closely mirror those of traditional track cycling, featuring individual and team events, as well as sprint and endurance races. Para-cyclists use adapted bikes to meet their individual needs, which may include modifications to the saddle, pedals, handles, or other components.

Over the years, para-cycling on the track has become an increasingly competitive and spectacular discipline, with athletes constantly pushing the boundaries of their abilities. The races are often highly intense and exciting, with complex tactics and strategies that can make the difference between victory and defeat.

Para-cycling on the track is now a popular Olympic and Paralympic discipline, attracting high-level athletes from around the world. It serves as further evidence of the sport’s ability to transcend obstacles and provide opportunities for all, regardless of their personal circumstances.
