Paralympics cycling track schedule: Events and start times at Tokyo 2020

Team GB hoping to emulate gold medal haul of Olympian counterparts in Japan

The Tokyo Paralympics start on 24 August and expectation is rife that the Games will replicate the success and impressive showings of the Olympics across the summer.

Spectators took in new sports, new heroes and perhaps new appreciation for a nation which did a magnificent job as hosts in exceptionally trying circumstances, and the same will again be required on all fronts as the worlds top Paralympians compete for gold, silver and bronze across a whole host of events.

Almost 4,500 athletes will participate in over 500 events, with competitors divided into sport classes - in the cycling events, that’s a four-way split, three for athletes with physical impairments and one for visual impairments.

Depending on the event and different code athletes are competing in, they will use different bicycles, handcycles or tandems with a sighted ‘pilot’ according to their impairments.

The track cycling events run from 25 August through to 28 August; below are all the start times and dates for each event and their medal races, all of which take place at the Izu Velodrome.

You can read the full schedule for all other Paralympic events at the official Tokyo 2020 site.
