Women's Omnium - Elimination Race - 2016 UCI Track Cycling World Championships

[@jeffyboyreloaded]

elimination is fantastic because even the strongest riders can get bested by a smarter one, but the strongest riders can also overcome the strategy of the smarter riders. great concept

As Eddy B said, "tactics win races"

[@dynothane300]

This is so intense!

As good as it gets, wonderful stuff.

[@maciejkawala7482]

great race

[@inevitable854]

So the Chinese rider can crash and take out another rider who we just eliminated, and they pause the race and let her rejoin? That seems a little wrong to me. Logic would say you crashed and you're a couple laps down. Idk obviousy I don't race bikes

[@divyansh_2006_]

bruh , they cheashed after crossing the elemination line and the cuban rider was eleminated there

[@inevitable854]

@@divyansh_2006_ I can understand that, what I'm confused about is in any race in any sport, they don't paused the race because you crashed or messed up. Then let you rejoin. Just seems weird

[@mafty_x]

​@@inevitable854 it's to discourage dirty play biking at that speed is very dangerous

[@rutlandcitybikes1616]

That was awesome!!

[@ophirbactrius8285]

[@richardpate1897]

Incredible race

[@dre21492]

They should have an overhead shot of the line to get a better look at the last person

[@arklat]

Interesting. In the men's race, the American was eliminated first. In this race, the American won. Quite the contrast. It is interesting to me, that the group generally stays together, with few if any attacks. When I was competing, this was my favorite event on the track. It is sometimes called "Devil take the hindmost." I love playing the role of the devil, because I would stay near the back, and pretty much choose who I wanted to be eliminated, and then I usually was in cvontention for the win, which I manged to go every so often. Lots of fun!

[@justw4lkbesideme]

How many km they did?

[@iancanuckistan2244]

the tracks are 250m long, 20 riders, one elimination every 2 laps. Total distance for the last two riders is 9.5Km.

[@rainpyramid8021]

종이 울리고 맨 꼴찌가 탈락되는거군.. 10분만에 룰을 이해했어 근데 잼나네. 싸이클이 묘미가 있어 신기하네. 유툽 알고리즘이 알려줬어 잼나다고 ㅋㅋㅋ 자전거도 없는데 한대사야하나?
