Explanation
The ranking is based on major global competitions, primarily the World Championships and the World Cup. The Olympic Games represent the highest scoring event within the system. The ranking is further complemented by continental championships. Team disciplines receive a higher point value than individual events in order to increase their importance in national rankings, but they are not included in individual rankings.
The achievement and holding of a world record are also rewarded, representing a significant performance milestone. For a more detailed view of the various specializations within track cycling, it is recommended to use the “discipline” filter.
The World Cup, the predecessor of today’s Nations Cup, is evaluated through victories in individual events up to 2016. In subsequent years, the traditional overall series standings are taken into account.
