The tandem sprint is like a match sprint, but it's ridden on two-man tandem bicycles over a 1,500-meter course.

| Team Pursuit |
|
This is similar to the individual pursuit race, except that there are two teams of four riders each. The teams ride in pace lines and the leader changes every half-lap or every lap. Standard distance is 4,000 meters. The team's time is taken when the third rider crosses the finish line, so the fourth rider doesn't have to finish.

| Track Stand |
