How the team fared in 2024
A smaller ARA Australian Cycling Team effort travelled to Ballerup, Denmark a year ago after the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and brought home two medals.
On the opening night, our women's team sprint won a landmark bronze medal, led by Kristina Clonan, who you won't see in action this week due to a back injury.
The men's team sprint won silver in a closely raced gold medal final versus perennial rivals, the Netherlands.
