Qualification

The women's cycling omnium at the 2012 Olympic Games in London took place at the London Velopark on 6 and 7 August.^[1]

Laura Trott from Great Britain, the reigning World and European champion in the event, won the gold medal. Sarah Hammer from the United States took silver and Australia's Annette Edmondson won the bronze.

Competition format

The competition consisted of six events, with a point-for-place system.^[2]

• Flying lap: an individual time trial over 250 m (820.2 ft) with a "flying start".
• Points race: a 20 km (12.4 mi) points race, with scoring for intermediate sprints as well as for lapping the pack.
• Elimination race: a "miss-and-out" elimination race, with the last rider in every sprint (each two laps) eliminated.
• Individual pursuit: a 3 km (1.9 mi) individual pursuit, with placing based on time.
• Scratch race: a 10 km (6.2 mi) scratch race, with all riders competing at once and first across the line winning.
• Time trial: a 500 m (1,640.4 ft) time trial, with two riders (starting opposite the track) riding at once.
