UEC European Track Championships – Women's omnium

The Omnium event, consists of a combination of different disciplines, sharing similarities with other multi-event sports such as Modern Pentathlon, heptathlon and decathlon.

The most successful cyclist in the event before its Olympic inclusion was Olga Slyusareva who took six titles in seven years for Russia between 1998 and 2005.

Following its Olympic inclusion, double-Olympic champion Laura Kenny holds the record for four titles and two silver medals, with Katie Archibald her closest challenger with three titles and a silver.

The Great Britain pairs dominance' is notable, as each nation can, as is common in such events, only enter one athlete – as such, Kenny and Archibald have never faced each other at European level.

The discipline exists of a flying lap, a keirin, an elimination race and a sprint.
