# Cycling at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Women's team pursuit

"none" is preferred when the title is sufficiently descriptive; see [[WP:SDNONE]]
The women's team pursuit event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place from 6 to 7 August 2024 at the Vélodrome National de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines.

## Background

This was the 4th appearance of the event, which has been held at every Summer Olympics since its introduction in 2012.

## Competition format

A team pursuit race involves two teams of four cyclists. Each team starts at opposite sides of the track. There are two ways to win: finish 16 laps (4 km) before the other team does or catch the other team. The time for each team is determined by the third cyclist to cross the finish line; the fourth cyclist does not need to finish.
The tournament consists of three rounds:
* Qualifying round: Each team does a time trial for seeding. Only the top 4 teams are able to compete for the gold medal; the 5th place and lower teams can do no better than bronze.
* First round: Four heats of 2 teams each. The top 4 teams are seeded against each other (1 vs. 4, 2 vs. 3) while the bottom 4 teams are seeded against each other (5 vs. 8, 6 vs. 7). The winners of the top bracket advance to the gold medal final. The other 6 teams are ranked by time and advance to finals based on those rankings.
* Finals: Four finals, each with 2 teams. There is a gold medal final (gold and silver medals), a bronze medal final (bronze medal and 4th place), and 5th/6th and 7th/8th classification finals.
