Competition format

edit

The competition immediately begins with the qualification round, where the 24 cyclists will individually in their own heat, compete by doing a time trial basis where the fastest six cyclist will qualify to compete for gold, silver and bronze. The distance of this event is 1000m.

A cyclist may have a different 'result time' than their real-time due to this event being a combined class event (C4-5), and some cyclists in their own class may have a disadvantage over other classes (for example due to speed), thus athlete factoring is used.

Despite this, different classifications have their own world and paralympic Games records

Qualifying

edit

The C4–5 1000 m time trial is a multi-classification event. To ensure fairness, factoring is applied to the times of each cyclist based on their classification, and it is this factored time represents their result, both in qualification and, if that cyclist qualifies, the final. In a men's C4-5 track event, the factor for a C4 rider is 98.66 and for a C5 is 100.00. The result of the cyclist is calculated as a percentage of the elapsed time, with the factor providing the relevant percentage.[3]
