2007 UCI Track Cycling World Championships
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2007 UCI Track Cycling World Championships is the World Championship for track cycling. It took place in Palma de Mallorca, Spain from March 29, 2007 to April 1, 2007. The event was dominated by the Great Britain team who topped the medals table, winning seven of the seventeen gold medals on offer.
The 2007 programme comprised 17 events, including the 10 Olympic events, and was also the first time that the multi-disciplinary Omnium - a cycling equivalent to the athletics pentathlon consisting of 5 events - was contested.
The Championships were a great success for the British Team in the run up to the 2008 Olympic Games. The team won over one fifth of all medals and were significantly clear at the top of the medal table.
