Keirin

Keirin (競輪 / ケイリン, [keːɾiɴ]) – literally "racing cycle" – is a form of motor-paced cycle racing in which track cyclists sprint for victory following a speed-controlled start behind a motorized or non-motorized pacer. It was developed in Japan around 1948 for gambling purposes and became an official event at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. Competition keirin races are conducted over several rounds with one final. Some eliminated cyclists can try again in the repechages.
