Omnium
Omnium is a type of multi-race cycling competition where riders accumulate points across several different events—such as time trials, scratch races, and elimination races. It tests a cyclist’s all-around skills, including speed, endurance, and strategy. The cyclist with the highest total points at the end of all events wins. Essentially, it's like a decathlon for track cycling, requiring versatility and consistency across various race formats. Omnium competitions showcase the rider’s overall ability rather than specialization in just one discipline.
