The wider picture
The match sprint used head-to-head racing on the velodrome after a timed qualifying stage.

The medal rounds produced a gold-medal contest and a bronze-medal contest. This was an individual title, separate from the team sprint and the timed pursuit disciplines in the Olympic track programme.
