Olympic Games - Cycling
Men's Cycling has been a constant factor at each Olympic Games. Women's competition did not become part of the programme until the road race at the 1984 Summer Olympics. Women have competed in track events since 1988. Mountain biking was first staged in 1996, followed by BMX in 2008.
The 2012 Summer Olympics was the first at which men and women competed in the same number of events across all cycling disciplines.
