Individual Pursuit is a competitive cycling event where riders race against the clock to complete a set distance, typically 4 kilometers for men and 3 kilometers for women. Each cyclist starts separately, aiming to achieve the fastest time possible. This event is often held on a velodrome, a specially designed track for cycling. In track cycling, athletes use specialized bikes that are lightweight and have a fixed gear. The focus is on speed, endurance, and strategy, as cyclists must manage their energy throughout the race. Individual Pursuit is a key event in major competitions like the Olympics and the UCI Track Cycling World Championships.
