Olympic Games cycling medalists

Cycling at the Olympic Games has evolved over time, with the modern programme offering two sets of coveted Olympic medals in road cycling, six in track cycling and one in mountain bike cross country for both men and women.

In the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, there was a men’s road race and track sprint along with five now-antiquated track cycling events. The individual time trial first appeared in the 1912 Olympics but was replaced by a team time trial from 1960-1992 before it reappeared in 1996.
