The 2016 UCI Track Cycling World Championships were the World Championships for track cycling in 2016. They took place in London in the Lee Valley VeloPark from 2–6 March 2016.^[1]

As the last major track cycling event prior to the 2016 Summer Olympics, the championships were particularly important for cyclists and national teams aiming to qualify for the track cycling competitions at Rio 2016.^[2][3] Hosts Great Britain finished top of the medals table with five gold, one silver and three bronze medals.

Preparations

Tickets prices for the 12 different sessions ranged between £15 and £90, with student and over 60s discounts available. Higher priced tickets were tickets with better seating locations, afternoon (final) sessions and the sessions at the weekend. On 20 February 50,000 tickets were sold, with most of the sessions sold out.^[4]

For the championships 200 volunteers were recruitedin and helped to a variety of roles during set-up and across the event, from programme sellers and accreditation distributors to media and sports.
