Pavel Buran (born 25 April 1973)[1] is a professional track cyclist from the Czech Republic. A multiple medalist at the European Championships, Buran became World Champion in the Keirin in 2000. As a junior, he is reputed to have done a track stand in the sprint event which lasted so long, the UCI introduced time limits for which riders were allowed to remain stationary during the event.
